Online therapy approaches and format
Jessica Katz uses several evidence-informed methods in remote sessions, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered approaches. EMDR is described as a way to address distressing memories through structured processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and aims to create a respectful, compassionate environment for exploration.These approaches are applied in a collaborative way: at times Katz takes a more active, directive role to teach specific coping skills, and at other times she follows the client’s lead to explore meaning and experience. That flexibility is intended to match different therapeutic tasks and moments in the work.
Remote sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Prospective clients can discuss which communication format best fits their needs during the initial matching process.
