Evidence-based techniques for online work
Janice uses approaches that focus on real-world skills and thinking patterns. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and problem solving in relationships.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy principles, emphasizing emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These skills teach breathing, grounding, and step-by-step ways to manage strong feelings and reduce reactive behavior.
Finding the right approach is a team process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they test what works and adjust the plan as progress is made.
