How sessions work
How Jennifer uses evidence-based approaches online
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice and respond to strong feelings rather than react automatically.She also brings Motivational Interviewing into conversations when change is the goal. That approach involves exploring a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation in a respectful, step-by-step way. Together these approaches help address addictions, mood concerns, and coping with life changes in a practical manner.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts techniques so sessions stay relevant and useful.
