Jennifer Maise-Cormier, LPC

Approaches for change and how online therapy fits

Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing habits and building coping skills. One common method involves structured skills training that teaches concrete tools for managing cravings, stress, sleep, and anger; this helps when daily routines and habits are getting in the way of goals. Another approach emphasizes motivational strategies - short, direct conversations that clarify a person's values and strengthens the push toward healthier choices. These approaches are practical and task-oriented, aimed at producing usable steps people can try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust as needed. She views therapy as a partnership where methods are matched to what a person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Online formats add flexibility to this work. Video calls let people use visual cues and role-play skills practice, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a quick check-in, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief coaching, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during busy days, travel, or when scheduling in-person sessions is difficult.
