Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jennifer often works from a client-centered perspective, which means creating a respectful, empathic space where the client’s experiences and goals guide the work - this approach helps with stress, grief, and feeling stuck. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly applied to anxiety and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on - a collaborative, goal-focused style that supports people who are ambivalent about change or working through addictions and lifestyle shifts.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer will collaborate with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills between meetings while fitting therapy into a busy life.
