Approaches for Healing Remotely
Jennifer often integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating; it is useful for attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and relationship challenges. EMDR uses structured processing to help reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and can be effective for complex trauma and PTSD. CBT explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms.The best approach is identified collaboratively. Jennifer works with each person to understand their history, strengths, and goals, and then tailors interventions so therapy fits the client’s needs and preferences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across time zones, and let therapists and clients find ways of working together that feel most practical and effective for each individual.
