How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps people clarify goals, feel heard, and build confidence to try new things. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that improve mood and problem solving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try skills in real life between meetings and bring examples from daily life into sessions for discussion.
