How selected approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness and can include mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting plans based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and making it easier to have short check-ins or evening appointments. They also allow practice of skills between sessions in real-life settings and can make it simpler to include work or parenting schedules when planning visits.
