Online session options
Narrative and Practical Tools for Online Therapy
Jennifer uses Narrative therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That work helps when past events or long-held beliefs are getting in the way of feeling capable or connected. She also uses Client-Centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the person's priorities so sessions feel personal and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when people want concrete ways to change thoughts and habits that feed anxiety, low mood, or sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will talk with each person about their goals, try a few approaches, and adjust based on what feels most useful. The emphasis is on experimenting together and tracking small changes rather than sticking to a preset plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions help with face-to-face connection and nonverbal cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and text or chat offers quick check-ins or shorter conversations between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, evening or weekend hours, and changing work or family demands.
