Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative and interactive. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and other methods to help people make changes. Jennifer treats clients as the experts in their lives and focuses on small, realistic steps toward goals.
In sessions she helps people gain clarity about what is causing stress or emotional pain. Together they set short-term goals and track progress. The work often includes practicing new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, and building everyday habits that support wellbeing.
Jennifer also supervises a team of clinicians and supports therapists working toward licensure. She values being open-minded and nonjudgmental, and she aims to create a calm, supportive space to try new ways of coping. If someone needs help sorting through relationship strain, parenting challenges, workplace pressure, or addiction-related concerns, she offers steady guidance and practical tools.
Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and practice small actions that align with those values. It’s useful when worry, avoidance, or painful emotions keep someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety or low mood and then testing new behaviors to change those patterns. It often helps with stress, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it pairs well with other approaches when someone wants skills to calm intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try approaches, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person’s life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Messaging and live chat make it easier to check in between sessions or to use shorter, focused interactions. These options help people access care around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
