Therapy Approaches That Translate Well Online
Jodie Gardner draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted effectively to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, then practicing more workable patterns. It is often used to build coping tools for stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying values and taking steps toward the life they want. It can be especially helpful when concerns like grief, chronic pain, trauma-related stress, or addiction recovery bring strong internal experiences that feel hard to manage.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and relationship effectiveness, supporting clients who want steadier ways to respond during intense moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jodie Gardner works collaboratively with clients to shape therapy around individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting pacing and focus as things become clearer over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent, even with a busy schedule. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to get support and continue progress between sessions.
