Online and remote therapy options
Jennifer integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns. In practical sessions she and the client work together to set observable goals and to develop skills for managing stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and related symptoms. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are described in accessible steps and paired with homework or practice between sessions when appropriate.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support clients who are exploring change or ambivalence. That approach emphasizes client-led goals, reflective listening, and building internal motivation. For people working on substance use, lifestyle adjustments, or new routines, motivational techniques can help clarify values and next steps.
Systemic Therapy is applied when relationships and family patterns are central to the concern. This approach considers how interactions and roles shape difficulties and invites collaborative shifts in communication and boundaries. Jennifer offers sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences.
