Approaches that guide online work and next steps
Jennifer integrates Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problem-saturated stories and rewrite how they see their roles. This approach can be useful for shifting identity-based worries and for changing how family stories affect daily life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on empathy and respect, letting the conversation follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to find and test unhelpful thoughts and to practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or anger.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to clarify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means starting with what feels most pressing and adapting as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations when visual cues help. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, tracking progress, or managing small steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum.
