Sessions are guided by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Jennifer explains options, checks in about what is working, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. She emphasizes practical tools people can use between sessions to cope with stress, handle panic, and improve everyday routines.

Online support options
Online approaches that fit your life
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that reduce rumination and help manage strong emotions.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when change feels difficult or mixed. That approach helps people clarify what matters to them, talk through ambivalence, and build motivation for steady steps forward. Jennifer treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick reflections, check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into a busy life.
