Dr. Jerideau works in English and accepts international clients. She encourages anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed to reach out and take a first step. The initial work centers on identifying priorities and building small, sustainable changes.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions in that direction. It can help when life changes leave someone stuck or uncertain about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and building confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful.

Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between obligations, or let someone attend from a quieter space. Licensed professionals aim to use approaches that fit daily routines so progress can happen between sessions.
