How Joni’s approaches translate to online work
Joni uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to focus on current problems and practical steps forward. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches clear tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are practical in short exercises and homework you can try between sessions, which often fits well with remote sessions or check-ins. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods best fits their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, and day-to-day schedules. Remote work can allow for brief check-ins, focused skills practice, and consistent weekly meetings when that schedule helps progress. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements during the initial match and scheduling steps.
