Online approaches for practical change
Janette commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients set the agenda and describe what they most want to change. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and parenting-related patterns that affect daily life. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to build readiness for change and help clients commit to realistic goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janette collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays practical and achievable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules. Video is helpful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy parenting routines and other responsibilities.
