How Jean’s approaches translate to online work
Jean often integrates attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect trust and closeness and helps people notice patterns that create anxiety in social situations. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to see what shifts in real life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jean will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and what they want to change. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.
