Evidence-based approaches adapted for online care

Dr. Jenna Lebersfeld draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and impulse control concerns. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to support clients in clarifying values, accepting difficult internal experiences, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals - this can be helpful for stress, chronic worry, and challenges common in neurodiverse and LGBTQAI+ communities. Mindfulness and meditation practices are integrated as tools to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, often useful for emotional regulation and parenting stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. Lebersfeld works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences.
