Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Jennifer combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to identify what matters most. It helps people feel heard and respected while they sort through difficult decisions. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing unhelpful behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set clear, achievable steps and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video calls let people read facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited and for quick check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for short updates, coaching-style support, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
