Online support

How Jennifer’s approaches work online

Jennifer often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviors to change how someone feels and functions, which is useful for worry, sleep issues, and mood struggles.

She also uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas, which means she listens closely and helps people set concrete, short-term goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with exercises or reflections between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face feel and longer work, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, chat or text can support brief check-ins or quick problem solving between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting to see what works best.
