Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Jarmela integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support work on thoughts, emotions, and valued action. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be used to help people clarify values and take steps that align with what matters to them, while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical techniques to identify patterns and practice alternative responses.
She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when addressing past injuries or ambivalence about change. Trauma-focused work centers on processing and rebuilding safety around traumatic experiences. Motivational Interviewing helps explore readiness for change and supports gradual goal setting. Client-Centered Therapy informs the overall stance, emphasizing listening and adapting interventions to the individual.
Remote sessions are available via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can be chosen based on preference and the type of work being done, and they allow collaboration on goals, skills practice, and ongoing check-ins between sessions.
