Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Flexibility
Jennifer commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients guide the pace and focus of work while the therapist offers empathy and validation - this approach helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT is a goal-oriented method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; it is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. DBT combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so the work remains relevant and responsive.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit help into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and provides multiple ways to communicate. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful, skill-based interventions through these formats while adapting to what works best for each client.
