How Joanette's approaches translate to online work
Joanette commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small acts in line with those values. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood.She also incorporates elements from Emotionally-Focused Therapy when strong emotions affect relationships and closeness. That approach helps name feelings and shift interaction patterns that keep people stuck. These methods are used in plain language and with practical exercises clients can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanette will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting pace, practicing specific skills, and checking what is helpful as therapy progresses.
