Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Jennifer integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and living with uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping skills, which often helps with anxiety, low mood, and addictive behaviors. The Gottman Method offers practical tools and structured interventions for couples to improve communication, manage conflict, and rebuild connection in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Jennifer collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these models to create a plan that aligns with what a client wants to achieve and how they prefer to work.
Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. Licensed professionals can provide consistent, ongoing support through these formats, allowing clients to engage in regular work on stress, relationships, trauma, and related concerns from locations that work best for them.
