Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or improve in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and offers practical tools to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and some addiction-related behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy with Jennie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper connection, while phone calls can be a good option when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing prompts easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments and help keep continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
