Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Jocelyn frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier interpersonal interactions, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

She also draws on emotion-focused therapy, which helps clients explore and process core emotions to improve connection with self and others. Jocelyn approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Jocelyn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular care from home or other settings, support continuity during life transitions, and allow flexibility in how and when clients engage with therapists and licensed professionals.
