Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify priorities, and supports each person’s own choices about change. This approach is useful for grief, relationship worries, and finding life purpose.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and reactivity. It helps people cope with anxiety, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness by building more steady attention to present moments. These tools are practical to practice between sessions and during stressful times.
Motivational Interviewing is a short, goal-focused way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change. It works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps, and it pairs naturally with the other approaches Jennifer uses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can be adjusted over time as goals evolve.
Online sessions provide flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing routines.
