She also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, and coping with major life changes. Jennifer has additional experience with adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment concerns, body image, and blended family stress.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She asks new clients to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jennifer integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT emphasizes skills training in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help people manage strong emotions and improve relationships.Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, concerns, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time if needs change and techniques will be explained and practiced together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer a flexible way to keep work going between longer sessions or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied lifestyles.
