How narrative and skills-based work fits online
Jenifer blends narrative ideas with skills-based work to help people make sense of who they are and change what isn’t working. Narrative Therapy focuses on how a person’s story shapes daily choices and relationships, helping to separate a person from problems and create new, preferred stories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts or feelings and still act on values that matter, which can help with anxiety, depression, and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and can guide change in how people relate and trust others.Choosing an approach is part of the work. Jenifer treats approach selection as collaborative and flexible. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust strategies based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video calls are useful for longer sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or flexible scheduling during busy days. These options help people maintain consistency and access care from different locations.
