Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions

Jessica Herz draws from several evidence-informed styles of counseling that can work well in an online format. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore feelings and choices at their own pace, which can be especially helpful for self-esteem concerns, relationship stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns, practice new coping strategies, and build day-to-day skills for challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel difficult to navigate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica collaborates with clients to understand what they want to change, what has or has not helped before, and what feels most comfortable, then adjusts the plan as goals evolve.

Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect with Jessica through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits busy schedules and changing needs.
