Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes short skill exercises and practical homework that transfer easily to daily life, such as tracking thoughts or testing beliefs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and build actions that match those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. ACT is useful when facing life transitions, grief, or ongoing stress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on how the client responds and what works best for everyday life.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people practice skills in real time, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching, and the mix of formats makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. These options make it practical to work on skills, handle setbacks, and track progress without long travel times.
