Approaches that guide online care
Jenna commonly draws from client-centered therapy, attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to inform online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping people explore their values and priorities while the therapist follows the client’s pace and goals. Attachment-based therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early connections, useful for clients addressing family of origin issues, intimacy concerns or attachment wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to build skills for managing symptoms like anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jenna collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, tailoring techniques and pacing to what feels most helpful. This collaborative exploration helps match evidence-based strategies to individual concerns.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it possible to engage in this work with greater flexibility. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support across different schedules and life circumstances, making therapy more accessible while preserving the ability to use structured interventions, relational exploration and skills training effectively.
