Therapeutic tools that translate well to online care
Jennifer Smith draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to respond differently. It is often used when stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-esteem concerns are getting in the way of daily life.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and practical next steps, helping clients clarify what they want to be different and identify small, realistic changes that can build momentum. Motivational Interviewing can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent, supporting clearer decision-making and follow-through around personal goals and change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer collaborates with each client to understand what they are hoping to work on, what has or has not helped before, and how they prefer to engage in therapy, then adjusts the plan accordingly.
Online sessions make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule. Clients can connect with Jennifer through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can be especially useful for parenting demands, life transitions, or times when leaving home feels difficult.
