How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their values and take small steps toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with practical homework between sessions to build new skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through concrete techniques like distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and let people schedule shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow focused skill practice and guided exercises in the moment, helping apply new techniques directly to daily life.
