Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take practical steps toward a life they find meaningful. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal priorities, which can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and persistent negative patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for addressing attachment issues, relationship challenges, and patterns of isolation or mistrust by fostering greater awareness and healthier relational skills.

Jennifer also integrates Motivational Interviewing when clients are facing ambivalence about change, such as with addictions or impulsive behaviors. This collaborative, nonconfrontational style helps people identify their own reasons for change and build internal motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what fits best and adjust as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of support and treatment.
