How Jill’s approaches translate to online work
Jill commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical ways online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses through short exercises. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and sleep or eating problems by teaching specific behavior and thought strategies.DBT adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It emphasizes skills practice for distress tolerance and communication, which can be useful for relationship strain, anger, and codependency concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jill will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, DBT, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps are most useful.
