Approaches that guide online care

Jennifer uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. PEERS is a structured social skills curriculum originally developed at UCLA that teaches communication and friendship skills for young people with ASD or ADHD.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily routine. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, checking how they work, and adjusting plans together.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not state specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills in real-life settings between sessions. Licensed professionals can help shape a plan that fits practical constraints and personal preferences.
