Using evidence-based approaches online for practical change
Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep stress and depression active. CBT focuses on concrete skills and small experiments that can reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers simple, teachable tools for coping with intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When trauma is part of a person's history, she may incorporate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) techniques to help process distressing memories in a paced way.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and therapist work together to decide what feels most helpful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or busy days. These options are meant to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
