Teletherapy and remote support
Dr. Kathleen Jager offers remote sessions that combine person-focused listening with structured techniques. In client-centered work she creates a respectful space where the individual’s priorities guide the pace and focus of sessions. That approach is intended to help people articulate goals and feel heard while exploring options for change.
She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. For those addressing difficult memories or traumatic events, trauma-focused therapy is available to help process experiences in a paced, intentional way. These methods are described and chosen collaboratively so the person and clinician can decide what fits best for a given concern.
Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how people connect. The format and therapeutic approach are discussed during intake so that counseling aligns with each person’s needs and practical preferences.
