How Jennifer’s Approaches Work Online

Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning. CBT sessions often focus on small, specific steps and practice between visits to build new habits.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the client's concerns and goals. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping the client set the pace for change.

Solution-Focused Therapy appears in brief, goal-oriented work where the focus is on what is working and how to do more of it. This is useful for people who want to move quickly toward concrete improvements.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients can expect the plan to evolve based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging make shorter check-ins and between-session coaching easier. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
