Online support

Therapeutic approaches suited for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most and small actions that align with those values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical method that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with more helpful alternatives. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and eating issues, and some patterns that affect daily functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply, reflects concerns back, and supports the person in finding their own solutions rather than prescribing answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow more visual connection, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, chat or text messaging can work for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments.
