Evidence-informed approaches for online support

Jenna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients address patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, while providing practical tools for coping and problem solving. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance, which can be especially useful for relationship challenges, anger, and intense emotions.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support clients who are ambivalent about change, offering a collaborative, nonjudgmental way to explore goals and build internal motivation. Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Jenna works together with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Jenna is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into varied schedules. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without the constraints of travel or rigid appointment times, helping clients maintain momentum and integrate therapeutic work into daily life.
