Approaches that guide online sessions
Jennifer uses client-centered work as a base, which means the focus is on building a trusting relationship and responding to each person's needs. That style helps people feel heard and sets the stage for practical change.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks problems into small steps so people can try different coping strategies and track what helps, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep issues.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches based on goals, preferences, and what shows results in early sessions. This lets treatment adjust over time if something is not working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work moving forward.
