Background and approach
From there she helps set concrete goals and small steps toward change that fit everyday life. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and choices. Sessions often include mindfulness and mind-body techniques to calm the nervous system and support better sleep.
Jennifer also addresses trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and identity-related stress, and she supports people navigating career shifts or caregiving strain. Conversations are practical and paced to what the person needs that week. Jennifer can work over video, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on what best fits a person’s schedule.

Therapeutic tools that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values and creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk. It helps people make choices that fit their life and what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to reframe unhelpful thinking and change behaviors, which can reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, mindful awareness, and improving communication in heated moments.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify needs, try methods that match their goals, and adjust as progress is tracked. Clients have a say in which techniques feel most helpful and practical.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible across formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief coaching, between-session support, and practicing skills in real time. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep steady progress toward goals.
