Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Jessica Peres integrates evidence-based methods that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, offering structure for people working through intense feelings, impulsive urges, or conflict. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences can shape connection, self-worth, and communication, and it can be helpful for concerns like abandonment, intimacy struggles, and recurring relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and adjust the pace and tools to fit each person’s needs and preferences over time.
Online therapy also adds flexibility. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support during busy weeks, life transitions, or when leaving home feels like a barrier. This range of options can help clients stay engaged and consistent while working toward meaningful change.
