Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Jessica Whittington, LCSW, draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what they are feeling and what they want to change, which can be especially helpful when navigating anxiety, grief, depression, or family stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then practice new ways of responding. This approach often supports people who want practical strategies for managing stress, worry, low mood, and day-to-day challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings are intense or relationships feel strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current needs, then adjusts the work to fit what is most helpful over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access support from a comfortable setting.
