Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and skill-focused, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method she uses to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change; it is often helpful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and building commitment to new behaviors. Narrative Therapy involves exploring the stories people tell about their lives and separating the person from the problem, which can open space for new perspectives and meaning after loss or during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to tailor techniques to their unique needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide which methods fit best and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow scheduling that fits morning and early afternoon routines, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes.
