Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with meaningful living.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with addictive behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. These skills can be especially useful for managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and self-destructive impulses.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with people to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts therapeutic methods alongside the client to determine the best fit. Licensed professionals can translate these approaches into online formats while maintaining a therapeutic focus.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations. These options increase accessibility and make it easier for people to engage in consistent treatment while using approaches that address their specific concerns.
