04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward important values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, life changes, and low mood because it emphasizes action aligned with personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. This approach supports change in patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or problematic behaviors by teaching concrete skills.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience and builds a trusting, empathetic relationship. That foundation helps people feel heard and safe enough to try new ways of coping and relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. She pairs methods with a collaborative plan so clients can see what to expect and adjust as needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing support between meetings.
