Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people name their values and take small actions that match those values. It often helps when stress or worry keeps someone stuck and they want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety and low mood because it gives tools to test thoughts and try new behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process distressing memories and the emotions tied to them; it can be part of recovery after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, comfort, and pace. Together they will try strategies, adjust as needed, and watch for what helps in day-to-day life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to maintain continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EMDR tools for remote work and help people practice skills between sessions.
