Therapeutic Approaches for Online Connection and Growth
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses. In online sessions this approach helps people explore attachment styles, rebuild trust, and improve closeness in relationships by identifying repeated patterns and creating new interaction strategies.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. Delivered remotely, it offers a supportive space for reflection where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping them clarify values, make decisions, and strengthen self-understanding.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more adaptive strategies. Online CBT can be effective for stress, anxiety, depression, and habit changes by combining structured exercises with real-time discussion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support in ways that suit different learning styles and life rhythms.
