How practical therapies translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. It emphasizes listening, understanding, and shaping sessions around what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide whether a person-centered, CBT, or DBT-informed path fits best. She adjusts methods to match your goals, pace, and what feels most useful in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you have a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, shorter exchanges, and flexibility for people with busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while using approaches that teach skills and set practical goals.
