Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Jennifer Forbes integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel understood and can access their own strengths; it often helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and motivation. CBT examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, disordered eating patterns, and unhelpful thinking. DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, self-harm urges, and challenges with impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts methods as progress unfolds so the work remains responsive to the client's experience.
Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options can support consistent skill practice, timely check-ins between appointments, and access to therapy for people with busy lives or geographical constraints.
