Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Jacielle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns of thinking and building emotional skills. One common approach she uses emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments; this helps reduce anxiety and depressive thinking by teaching practical ways to respond differently. Another strand of her work centers on building self-compassion and self-love through guided exercises and reflective practices that strengthen self-esteem and resilience.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jacielle will discuss different techniques with each person and decide collaboratively which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. This process can include trying different tools and adjusting them as progress unfolds.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week and can reduce travel and time spent commuting. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and for working through practical life issues that come up between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in an online setting, helping clients maintain momentum toward their goals.
