Practical therapy tools, delivered online

Jeanette "Jan" Kaschmitter integrates evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and practicing new responses that better support daily life, which can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be a good fit for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, relationship conflict, or difficult transitions and want concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental way to explore ambivalence and strengthen follow-through on meaningful goals. It can be particularly useful when someone is working through life changes or trying to shift long-standing habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jan partners with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and how they prefer to learn and practice new skills, then adjusts the pace and strategies accordingly.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and stay connected to the therapeutic process from week to week.
