Evidence-based approaches that translate well to online therapy
Jennifer Maguire integrates practical, skills-focused methods that can work well in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another, and then practice new ways of responding to unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions where day-to-day coping tools can make a meaningful difference.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured skills for mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense, relationships feel strained, or it is hard to stay grounded under pressure. She also uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes empathy and collaboration, allowing therapy to move at a pace that feels manageable and aligned with what matters most to the client.
