Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jennifer uses evidence-informed approaches to support change and coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns; it is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and problem-solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation that centers the client’s own goals and wisdom, creating a safe space to explore relationships, identity, and life decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as circumstances and priorities change.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow continuation of care from home or work, and make it easier to practice new skills between sessions. These options can help people access consistent support while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
