How these approaches work in online therapy
Jillayne commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and understood, helping people find their own answers and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and coping patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jillayne will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, daily life, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs evolve.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and remove travel time. It also lets people try different approaches from familiar surroundings while continuing to focus on clear goals and practical steps.
