Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. In sessions this can help people who struggle with trust, fear of rejection, or repeated relationship patterns to name and change those habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises and simple tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and shift unhelpful thinking that keeps problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She checks in about what helps and adapts plans over time so therapy stays useful and focused.
Online sessions can fit into busy lives in several ways. Video calls let people have fuller conversations and use visual cues, while phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when writing helps process thoughts. These formats make it easier to keep regular contact and use new skills in daily life.
