How Janelle adapts her approaches for online work
Janelle uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's priorities and pace, allowing sessions to follow what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and guide the conversation toward their goals.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, or stress. Narrative Therapy is used to examine personal stories and offer new ways to understand difficult events and build resilience.
Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that seem promising, and adjust the plan based on what works and what the client prefers. Clients often try a mix of approaches as they move forward.
