How Janelle's approaches work in online therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and highlighting a person’s own reasons for moving forward. This approach can be useful for making changes in habits, managing care responsibilities, or taking steps toward better self-care.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking actions that match those values, which can help with grief, depression, and ongoing health challenges.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s perspective leads the work. The therapist offers understanding and reflection to help people clarify what matters and choose next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janelle works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try an approach for a few sessions and adjust as needed to make the work feel useful and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting people connect from different locations when schedules demand it. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like motivational work, values-based action, and thought-recording exercises to an online setting to help people move toward their goals. -
