Background and approach

Her aim is for clients to leave sessions with at least one concrete idea they can try between meetings. She uses approaches that focus on the person's goals and immediate needs. That means sessions often center on what a person wants to change now, and on small, doable steps to get there.

Conversations are focused and goal-oriented while still allowing space to process emotions. Jenni also addresses complex and overlapping issues such as family of origin concerns, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and substance use. She helps people sort through mixed problems and figure out priorities so progress feels manageable.

People who want practical tools and a supportive listener may find her style helpful. She supports clients in building skills for coping, improving relationships, and managing daily pressures. If someone prefers direct, goal-focused work with a steady guide, Jenni aims to provide that kind of care.

Client-centered and solution-focused care online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and decide what matters to them. This approach can help when someone needs support to articulate goals or work through emotional blocks.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete changes that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often identify strengths, set clear short-term steps, and track progress. This method is useful for practical problems like managing anxiety, improving communication, or reducing harmful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person's needs and pace.

Online therapy gives flexibility for busy schedules and differing needs. Video calls are helpful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between sessions. These options let people fit care into work, parenting, or travel routines while still addressing anxiety and related concerns.
