Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Dr. Jennings draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s perspective, values, and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes active listening, empathy, and the client’s own strengths to support decision-making and personal growth.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and depression. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and teaching skills that can be applied in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Jennings works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and useful.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from home or on the go while preserving continuity of care and allowing therapists to use the same evidence-informed approaches as in-person work.
