Approaches in Online Therapy and What to Expect
Jennifer Baumgardner uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as primary frameworks in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping people explore feelings and identify their own solutions - it is well suited for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and processing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult situations.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual's circumstances.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access ongoing support from different locations while working with therapists who can adapt their approaches to the online setting.
