Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Jennifer Scaltrito uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where clients' perspectives and values guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and collaboration, and can be especially helpful for building self-understanding and addressing relationship or life-transition concerns.

She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, anger, and mood difficulties. CBT is goal-oriented and often useful for addressing symptoms and developing coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and involves clients in deciding priorities and next steps.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity across changing schedules. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively through remote formats, offering flexibility and accessibility while supporting progress toward meaningful goals.
