How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jory uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and values. One common approach involves teaching coping strategies for anxiety and stress so people can try small changes between sessions. Another typical element is skills-based work on communication and boundary setting to reduce conflict and improve relationship interactions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. This process is negotiated together rather than decided upfront.
