How Jennifer’s approaches work online
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with practical alternatives. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger because it breaks problems into clear steps people can practice between meetings.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT includes concrete exercises for managing intense feelings, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and handling crisis moments without escalation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to choose methods that fit the client’s goals, daily routine, and preferences. That may mean more skill coaching for someone needing emotion tools or more exploration for someone facing grief or relationship shifts.
