Practical Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jennifer McHorse uses approaches that are practical and goal-oriented, starting with Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps to create change rather than dwelling on problems. This approach can be especially helpful for clients seeking concrete progress on issues like stress, relationship conflicts, or lifestyle shifts.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a method that helps people recognize and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. CBT provides skills that clients can apply between sessions to manage mood and responses to stressors.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so the work remains aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from different locations. These options support consistent progress and allow clients to access licensed professionals in ways that match their comfort and day-to-day life.
