Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care
Jennifer regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and commit to small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions by shifting the focus from symptom elimination to living a values-driven life.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration, confidence building, and improved communication in relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool in her practice; CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and improve mood, making it well suited for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and receive consistent therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations.
