Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Dr. Cary Jenson draws from approaches that can be especially practical in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a steady therapeutic relationship, giving space to explore emotions and experiences at a pace that feels manageable. It can be helpful when someone is moving through grief, life transitions, isolation, or a period of feeling stuck and unsure of next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then practicing tools that support more balanced responses. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day challenges, especially when clients want structured strategies they can apply between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Jenson collaborates with clients to clarify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and which style of support feels like the best fit for their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to keep momentum in the process. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, changing energy levels, and different comfort levels with how support is delivered.
