Therapeutic approaches and online options
Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify personal values and take small steps toward a life that feels more meaningful. ACT focuses less on symptom control and more on living in line with what matters to the person.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers clear strategies for changing thoughts and building new habits that reduce anxiety, depression, or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients and the therapist decide together and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or use shorter, more frequent contact for skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
