How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in clear, down-to-earth ways. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person's lead, listens closely, and helps them make sense of their own story. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new actions to change how someone feels. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce reactivity, help with sleep, and manage intense emotions.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That can mean starting with short, practical exercises and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It also supports trying out skills between sessions in real life and reviewing progress together at the next meeting.
