Therapeutic Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Jennifer integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life - it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening, and supporting the client’s own capacity for growth - it can be especially helpful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and processing emotional pain. CBT offers practical, skills-based strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which is useful for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer uses a collaborative stance to determine what fits best based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches to create a plan that aligns with each person’s priorities.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy lives. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from locations that suit them, facilitating consistent work on goals with fewer logistical barriers.
