She centers care on each person’s strengths and practical needs. Jennifer brings 23 years of experience to sessions and keeps language simple and direct so parents can follow along easily.

How Jennifer works
She uses client-centered methods to listen and learn about a person’s goals. From there she introduces strategies that fit daily life, such as thought work, emotion regulation skills, and mindfulness practices. Jennifer draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes.
She also uses dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion management and distress tolerance. These methods are applied in a straightforward way that aims to reduce symptoms and increase coping skills. Her background includes long-term work with stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, ADHD, and caregiver stress.
She also supports people dealing with grief, career transitions, sleep issues, body image, and blended family challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress. Jennifer emphasizes collaboration, so clients help set goals and choose strategies that match their lives.
The aim is clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and stronger coping for everyday challenges.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It starts by identifying strengths and goals, then tailors sessions to the client’s pace and preferences. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try concrete behavior changes to improve mood and functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which combination of methods fits their needs and goals. Sessions begin with simple goals and adjust as progress is made, so people keep control over the pace and focus.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations.
