Approaches that guide online sessions
Jennifer commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing day-to-day parenting stress because it focuses on clear steps and homework-style practice.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and family life. This helps when people want to understand long-standing ways of reacting and to build different responses over time.
Rational-emotive methods are used to challenge rigid or extreme beliefs that fuel anger, shame, or low self-esteem. These techniques aim to replace harsh self-talk with more balanced thinking and practical behavior shifts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to decide which tools to use and how quickly to move between them.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video sessions let the therapist and client see each other's expressions, phone sessions require less bandwidth, chat can be a quick check-in during a break, and text messaging is useful for short updates or reminders between meetings.
