How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jacklyn commonly draws on cognitive approaches and motivational interviewing. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, panic, and low mood. Motivational interviewing uses focused conversation to build readiness for change and can be useful for substance use concerns and making life adjustments.She also integrates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Mindfulness teaches brief practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Solution-focused work helps set small, practical goals so progress can be measured between sessions. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative step; she will work with each person to choose what fits their needs and goals.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them maintain continuity of care while handling school runs, work breaks, or caregiving duties.
