Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on understanding how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, react, and seek safety in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for shifting unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and build calm over time.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jenna will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try approaches, adjust methods, and pick skills that fit the person’s life and pace of change.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit a short break. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing tracking of progress, and skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
