Therapeutic approaches and working online

Jennifer commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on hearing the person’s perspective and building trust so clients can guide their own change. This approach is often useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT helps people learn concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and shift unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. Clients can expect the plan to be reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since formats are set by the therapist’s practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins that work around work or family commitments. It also allows sessions that focus on skill practice, thought work, and problem-solving in ways that fit into daily life.
