Online sessions and therapeutic methods
Jennifer offers remote sessions that combine practical skills work with values exploration. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, she helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns so people can respond more effectively to stress, mood changes, and daily challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and develop willingness to tolerate difficult feelings while taking meaningful action aligned with those values.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are incorporated to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These methods are adapted in collaboration with each person, with attention to cultural context and individual goals. Sessions are conducted through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and life circumstances.
At the start of work together, treatment priorities and preferred ways of communicating are discussed so the therapeutic plan fits the person s needs and practical realities.
