Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jennifer often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means listening closely and focusing on the person’s concerns and goals. CBT introduces straightforward tools to change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps with relationship patterns, family difficulties, and feelings of abandonment or emptiness by identifying long-standing patterns and testing new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss options and work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That includes checking what feels most useful and adjusting as therapy progresses.

In general, people find online sessions useful because they make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, attachment-focused work, and trauma interventions like EMDR to remote sessions in ways that focus on coping skills, processing, and planning next steps.
