Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own strengths and goals, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where a person’s priorities guide the work. This approach can be particularly helpful for concerns about self-esteem, relationships, parenting, and navigating life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is structured and skill-oriented, making it well suited to short-term goals and measurable progress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of emotions and bodily sensations, which can improve coping with stress, emotional regulation, and recurring worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as trust and insight develop.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations, and they support continuity of care for people who benefit from remote access to licensed professionals and therapists.
