Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennie Harvat draws on evidence-based approaches to guide online therapy, with Dialectical Behavior Therapy as a central method. DBT focuses on teaching practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships - it is often used for intense emotions, mood instability, and patterns that interfere with daily life.

She also practices from a trauma-informed perspective that attends to how past experiences shape present reactions and coping strategies. This approach helps people understand triggers, build safety within sessions, and work toward processing traumatic stress at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennie collaborates with each client to determine which techniques and pacing best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences - adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reach consistent support from home or other settings, and maintain continuity of care even when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured skill-building, reflective conversation, and ongoing support tailored to each person.
