Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Jennifer often uses client-centered therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s priorities while offering support and reflection to help clarify goals. This approach helps people feel heard and shape the focus of their work early on.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often involve short exercises and homework that translate well to video or text formats. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are another tool she applies for managing intense emotions, teaching practical strategies like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that clients can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life, adjusting techniques over time based on what is most helpful.
Online therapy provides flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
