Online approaches that fit your life
Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking meaningful action toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and how they react to different methods. Together they will try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan to match the client's needs and rhythm.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a typed real-time option, and text messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life.
