How her approaches translate to online sessions
Janine commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on practicing small behavioral experiments to test new responses. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when difficult feelings appear.She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience and on motivational interviewing or solution-focused techniques when people want brief goal-oriented work. Choosing the best approach is collaborative - she will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt based on what helps most.
