Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jenny integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into her work, using each approach to address different needs. ACT helps people clarify their values and commit to actions that align with those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships that began in early life and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional regulation - it is often helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a space for clients to discover their own solutions and build self-trust, which supports work on self-esteem, grief, and identity-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jenny works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Sessions can be delivered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people juggling work, family, or health constraints. Online formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and adapt session length and frequency to what works best for each client.
