Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer uses several evidence-informed approaches to help clients address symptoms and reach practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors by teaching concrete skills for coping and reframing thoughts.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is particularly useful when intense emotions or relationship challenges interfere with daily life and helps build skills to manage strong feelings without impulsive reactions.

Motivational Interviewing supports people struggling with change, such as addictive behaviors, by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation to pursue healthier choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer collaborates with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time to ensure the best fit and practical progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from home or work.
