How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to change moods and habits; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for hard emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, checking in to see what helps and what needs changing, so the plan evolves with your progress.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between errands. They also let people use shorter check-ins or choose sessions that don’t require being on camera when that feels better. Ask about practical options when you set up your first appointment so sessions match your schedule and needs.
