How therapeutic approaches work online

Jennifer uses a few straightforward evidence-based techniques to guide online work. Cognitive-style approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors; this can help with anxiety and low mood. Skills-based strategies teach concrete coping tools for stress and cravings, such as grounding, pacing, and short behavioral experiments. When grief or identity issues arise, narrative-style conversation helps people name their experience and make sense of losses or changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has helped or not helped before. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as you go, with regular check-ins about progress and what feels useful.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work visually and use screen-shared exercises, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days.
