Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with their values. It is useful for people facing life changes, stress, or persistent unhelpful thoughts by encouraging mindful acceptance and committed, values-driven steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns by teaching skills that change how situations are interpreted and responded to.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered method that supports readiness for change. It is often paired with other approaches to help people who are ambivalent about change, including those working through addictions or difficult transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps clients access licensed professionals more conveniently and maintain continuity of care despite busy schedules or geographic constraints.
