How Jennifer’s approaches inform online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means sessions begin with what feels most pressing, and Jennifer uses questions and reflection to help people clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs to sort priorities or regain direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Jennifer uses CBT techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioral changes. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, and improving daily routines.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Jennifer will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That can mean mixing client-centered listening with CBT skills, and adjusting over time based on what helps.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when a video connection is not practical, and video sessions allow visual cues that support conversational therapy. Ask about current session options when you schedule to find a format that fits your routine.
