Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Jennifer integrates Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients direct the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening - an approach that helps people clarify values, build self-understanding, and strengthen motivation for change.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is useful for people who want structured tools and exercises to manage mood and reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is employed to teach skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it especially helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with a licensed professional, including video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care, and access support from a convenient location.
