Therapeutic approaches for online treatment
Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behaviors. CBT focuses on practical skills and steps that can be tried between sessions to improve daily functioning.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness. These tools can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone is trying to reduce impulsive behavior. For trauma-related symptoms she incorporates elements of EMDR to address distressing memories and reduce their intensity over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will discuss options, listen to a person's goals and preferences, and recommend a plan that mixes skill-building with trauma processing as needed. The plan is revisited and adjusted based on progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can serve as a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and quick updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain momentum between sessions.
