Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive environment where the client’s goals and experiences guide the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects the client’s perspective, and helps build self-awareness and personal insight - useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management, offering practical tools to change how problems are approached day to day.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach aimed at processing distressing memories and their emotional impact. It is commonly used when past trauma continues to affect current functioning and helps reduce the intensity of those memories over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in this work - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around busy lives, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of treatment when in-person meetings are not possible, while still working with licensed professionals and trained therapists to pursue meaningful change.
