Online support
How Jennifer’s approaches work in online therapy
Jennifer commonly uses Existential Therapy to help people name what matters to them and find direction when life feels empty or confusing. This approach focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility to help clarify next steps. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person’s experience by listening closely and reflecting feelings back so clients feel understood and seen. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often combine short-term skills with deeper reflection so people can try practical tools while exploring larger life questions.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions work well for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or slower-paced reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or care schedules while keeping treatment consistent and flexible.
