Background and approach

Jennifer has long experience supporting people facing end-of-life transitions, chronic illness, cancer, and the stresses that come with caregiving. She also addresses financial stress, smoking or vaping cessation, and job-related concerns. Her background includes work with older adults and issues related to aging and hospice care.

Her therapeutic approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. These tools are adapted to each person's situation rather than applied the same way to everyone. Jennifer describes her style as compassionate and collaborative.

She helps people set clear goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress. The aim is steady, practical change that fits a person’s life and responsibilities.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves structured techniques to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and grounding practices. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor the methods over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing skill coaching, or brief support between longer sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules, manage symptoms from home, and keep continuity of care when travel or work makes in-person meetings difficult.
