How Jennifer Uses Different Approaches Online

Jennifer blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the client, which helps people feel heard and decide on personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the process and is done together. She will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she suggests methods to try and adjusts the plan based on your feedback so therapy fits your needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or times when a full session is hard to schedule. These options make it easier to keep appointments, try new skills between meetings, and get support in a way that fits your life.
