Approaches you can use online and in person
Jennifer often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps that match those values, which can help with life transitions and midlife decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so the work fits the client's life and needs.
If you want online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you understand what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can use these methods to teach coping skills, guide values-driven choices, and practice communication strategies over distance.
