Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Jaelah offers remote sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are intended to support ongoing collaboration and to allow for different ways of communicating while working through presenting concerns.She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is described here as a method to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values, developing willingness to experience difficult thoughts or feelings, and committing to actions that matter to the individual.
Attachment-Based approaches are used to explore relational patterns, and her client-centered stance emphasizes listening, joint problem solving, and tailoring interventions to what the person brings to the session. Clients who prefer goal-oriented work or reflective relational exploration may find a collaborative fit with this blend of methods. Remote formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
