How Jennifer’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for the client to shape goals and decide the pace, which helps with issues like parenting stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses brief exercises and practice tasks to reduce anxiety, manage depressed mood, and change patterns that feed substance use or anger.

The choice of approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Together they set clear priorities and track progress, switching strategies if something isn’t working.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging make scheduling easier and allow follow-up between meetings. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and text are helpful for short check-ins, written reflections, or brief problem solving. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills in day-to-day life.
