Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when emotions are hard. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior.

She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and pace. This means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps shape plans that feel doable for each person. Deciding which approach to use is a collaboration based on the client's needs, goals, and comfort with different strategies.

For practical matters, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches translate well to remote conversations, especially when practicing mindfulness, changing thoughts with CBT, or setting small action steps from ACT. The therapist will help match the method to what you want to address and how you prefer to meet.
