Approaches you can expect in online sessions

Jennifer commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting, accepting space where the client sets the agenda. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors with practical exercises that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize problem-solving, thought work, motivation, or a blend that fits the client’s needs.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows consistent, goal-focused work using tools like structured CBT exercises, motivational interviewing conversations, and solution-focused planning that translate well to remote sessions.
