Approaches you can use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values despite hard feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep problems stuck. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you can try an approach and adjust based on what helps most in day‑to‑day life.

If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check‑in meetings when needed. Many people find it helpful to practice skills between sessions and bring real‑life examples straight into therapy for immediate feedback.
