How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions begin with the person describing their priorities while the therapist asks clarifying questions and helps set goals. This approach is useful for decisions about career, relationships, parenting strain, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions often teach simple tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, social fears, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jocelyn works with each person to combine client-centered conversations and CBT techniques as needed. She will help decide which methods fit a client's goals, pace, and preferences rather than imposing one way of working.
Confirm current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about session length and any technical needs during the matching and scheduling steps.
