Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jennifer Forbes

Jennifer Forbes draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support clients in an online format. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspectives and choices guide the work - it can be helpful for building self-esteem and clarifying values. CBT examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for relationship struggles and emotional regulation challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve. Licensed professionals often combine elements of these models to tailor care to the individual.

Online therapy with Jennifer is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular sessions without travel, support ongoing work between meetings, and allow clients to engage in ways that suit their daily life and routines.
