Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Jackie integrates the Gottman Method into conversation-focused work when relationship patterns are central, using research-based exercises to improve communication and reduce repeated negative cycles. Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current behavior and closeness, which can be useful for addressing intimacy, abandonment, or caregiving stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so clients feel heard while they decide on goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jackie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options and adapts tools over time so the plan stays practical and meaningful for the client.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations and are useful for deeper conversations and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, coaching-style support, and quick skill practice between sessions. These choices give flexibility for busy schedules, travel, or balancing care responsibilities while still keeping therapy consistent.
