Motivational interviewing informs her style when clients want to change habits or move toward new goals. Together these approaches shape short-term plans and longer-term conversations about values and purpose.

How Jessica’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and clearer about their goals. This approach is useful for loneliness, grief, and relationship concerns because it centers the client’s perspective and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, social phobia, and low mood by practicing new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name the emotions that shape how they relate to others. It can be helpful when attachment wounds or abandonment fears affect current relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans together over time. The aim is to match the method to what actually helps the person move forward.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work through life transitions like job changes or relocation.
