Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer Branin draws from evidence-based approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - tools that help with intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-directed behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they are less disruptive, often used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Jennifer collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts care as progress unfolds. She works with clients to set clear objectives and choose techniques that feel most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy lives or to access support from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, practice skills between meetings, and stay connected to a licensed professional when scheduling or distance would otherwise be a barrier. Please note that Jennifer Branin is not currently accepting new clients.
