How Janae applies CBT and practical methods online
Janae uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and then try new, testable behaviors. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps - identifying a thought, testing it, and practicing an alternative response over the following week.She also uses client-centered work to listen for what matters most to the person and to shape goals from their own perspective. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck and needs help clarifying what change would look like and how to take first steps.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Janae will work with each person to decide which method or mix of methods fits their goals and preferences. That means reviewing progress regularly and adjusting techniques based on what helps most.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow people to practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which can make exercises more practical and immediately relevant.
