Practical therapy approaches for online care
Jillanne commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her practice. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test more balanced ways of thinking, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.She also incorporates EMDR when processing traumatic memories to reduce the emotional charge tied to past events. That method involves guided recall alongside specific bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess difficult experiences and lessen their hold on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jillanne works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and current needs. Expect a collaborative conversation about what to try first and periodic check-ins to adjust course.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and EMDR techniques to remote work so practical skill-building and trauma processing continue without disrupting daily routines.
