Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jennifer Jones uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the person's own goals and experiences guide the work - this approach helps with issues of self-esteem, life purpose, relationships, and aligning actions with values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jennifer collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process lets the therapist and client try strategies, adjust as needed, and focus on what produces meaningful change.
Online sessions can be conducted by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and fit therapy into a busy routine while working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
