Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Dr. Jill Palmer draws from evidence-informed approaches that work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing practical strategies to respond differently. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while staying connected to personal values. It can be useful for coping with life changes, persistent stress, and the pressure that comes with roles like parenting or caregiving. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths, resources, and workable next steps, supporting clients who want clear goals and steady progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Palmer collaborates with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what feels like a good fit, then adjusts the plan as needs evolve.
