How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, which can help with intense mood swings and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jody will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She tailors conversations and plans so techniques fit your daily life and challenges rather than imposing a single method.
The biography indicates she has used online counseling and found it effective for many issues. If you prefer remote care, confirm the current session options before booking so they match your schedule and needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time so you can spend more time on the work itself.
