Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Janice Harbin draws from evidence-informed approaches that can work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to respond differently, which can be especially useful when stress, anxiety, or low mood start to affect daily routines.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. Rather than getting stuck in a struggle with emotions, ACT supports values-based choices and steady progress, including when coping with change, grief, or long-standing habits.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, including around substance use or other patterns that feel hard to shift.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janice works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the work accordingly over time.
Online therapy also makes support more accessible. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and they can use live chat or text-based messaging when that format fits better, offering flexibility for busy schedules, travel within Michigan, or days when meeting in person feels like too much.
