Evidence-based approaches, thoughtfully adapted for online therapy
Janice Stidman draws from several structured, research-informed approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and practicing new responses, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and everyday coping challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while also taking steps toward what matters most. It can support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry, shame, or major life changes.
For clients impacted by trauma and intense emotional reactions, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is often used to help the brain process distressing experiences in a more adaptive way, so triggers feel less consuming over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and current needs, then adjusts the pace and methods to match what is most helpful.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and access care from home.
