How Jill’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, mood, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people shift how they connect and respond when relationships are a central concern.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
