Approaches used in online therapeutic work

Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can help when someone feels uncertain about life direction or stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, obsessive patterns, and mood symptoms.

She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to create a calm, responsive therapeutic tone. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily life needs, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. The therapist will help schedule sessions in a way that fits into your routine and daily commitments. Online sessions can make it easier to fit regular check-ins into busy weeks, allow for shorter focused meetings when that suits your day, and reduce travel time so therapy can happen around work or family responsibilities.
