Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Supportive Approaches

Jessica Whittington draws from approaches that help clients feel heard while also building tools for change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where a client can speak openly and set the pace, which can be helpful when stress, grief, or depression make it hard to know where to start.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can be especially useful for stress and anxiety by helping clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and practice new, more workable responses.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse, which many clients find helpful during overwhelming or high-conflict periods.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica collaborates with each client to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit the client’s needs over time.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, with options for live chat or text-based messaging to support ongoing progress between appointments and to make care more accessible in a busy schedule.
