Approaches That Guide Online Care with Dr. Jill Hackley

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and the client’s own capacity for growth. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects the client’s experience, and supports self-directed exploration, which can be especially useful for issues involving self-esteem, relationship concerns, and adjustment to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by developing strategies for coping, emotion regulation, and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Hackley works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances and tailors sessions so the chosen techniques fit the individual or family’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, school, or family obligations. These options expand access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are difficult, while supporting consistent progress through regular, convenient contact.
