How her approaches translate to online work
Jane uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person's concerns and priorities, offering a listening stance that centers the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change thought patterns that maintain guilt, shame, or low mood by using practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and relational triggers.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jane will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust techniques based on the client's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on changing thoughts, building skills, or addressing trauma memories over time.
