Approaches Jenny names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

CBT and Solution-Focused Care Online

Jenny often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety, which can ease panic and depressive thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical steps and small changes that move someone toward their goals, useful for coping with life transitions and communication problems.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist talks with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods that fit the client’s situation and adjust as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls work well for full discussions and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text sessions suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
