Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jennifer Kordell draws from person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person’s needs. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel understood and supported in exploring their goals. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for people coping with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these approaches as the relationship develops and as practical goals emerge.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, multiple ways to communicate, and the ability to continue care even when in-person sessions are not possible.
