How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on your goals and what matters to you. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps you set practical next steps to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be practiced and reviewed in later meetings. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to reduce the hold of painful memories when that is appropriate for a client's needs.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Jennifer will discuss options, try approaches, and adjust plans based on how you respond. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques fit your pace and goals without forcing a single method.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available online session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so you can use a break at work or manage childcare more easily. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT homework, client-centered conversations, and EMDR-focused processing to remote work when the approach suits the client's situation.
