Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Jodi Fortner draws from practical, skills-based methods that can work especially well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps attention on strengths, goals, and small, realistic steps forward, making it a helpful fit when someone wants direction during life changes or while rebuilding momentum after a difficult period. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers a structured way to process experiences and develop coping tools for intense emotions, which can be supportive for clients impacted by trauma and abuse or grief.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jodi works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has helped before, and what feels manageable right now, then adjusts the focus and pace to fit their needs and preferences.
Online therapy also adds flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and they can use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions, reflect in real time, and practice new coping strategies in everyday life.
