How Jenna’s approaches work online

Jenna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and brief experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behavior, which can help with intimacy issues, trust, and communication. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building on a person’s strengths so they feel heard and more able to set their own goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will listen to what matters most to the client and then discuss which methods seem likely to help. She works collaboratively, adjusting goals and techniques as progress is made and life circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and fit varied routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when lower bandwidth or less screen time is needed. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options support flexibility so therapy can fit around work, school, caregiving, and travel rather than adding extra strain.
