Approaches Linda Uses for Online Therapy

Linda Jarels draws from several well-established approaches to support clients in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and some addictive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and unconditional positive regard, creating space for clients to explore identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Linda works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to continue care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support while accommodating scheduling, mobility, and geographic needs.
