Online sessions and therapeutic focus
Jennifer offers online options that combine a trauma-informed framework with the structure of dialectical behavior therapy. The trauma-informed element focuses on understanding what has happened in a person's life and on building safety, trust, collaboration, choice and empowerment as the foundation for any therapeutic work. That orientation guides how goals and pacing are agreed on together.
Dialectical behavior therapy is presented as a structured approach the therapist particularly values. In accessible terms it provides tools and exercises for managing intense emotions and for developing skills that support clearer decision making and steadier coping. Jennifer invites prospective clients to discuss whether DBT or trauma-focused work is the best match for their current needs.
Online appointments can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options are used to maintain ongoing collaboration, to practice skills between sessions when helpful, and to accommodate different communication preferences.
