Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Jenifer uses approaches that help people understand their thoughts, feelings, and relationships and then practice new ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more constructive strategies - it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns influence emotional needs and connection, and it can be helpful for issues like abandonment, communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ACT, combines mindfulness and values-based action to help people accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful changes in their lives.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jenifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and the concerns they bring to sessions, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety allows clients to access support in ways that suit their schedules and daily lives, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between appointments.
