Background and approach

She also works on communication problems and feelings of guilt or isolation that can make progress harder. Her counseling draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to build skills for emotional regulation, reduce unhelpful thinking, and increase motivation for change.

Sessions often include practice of specific techniques to use between meetings. With 16 years of professional experience, Jennifer has supported people through grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses smoking and vaping cessation and gambling-related issues.

Her work focuses on practical steps and realistic goals that fit each person’s life. Jennifer tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation. She invites people to take small manageable steps and stays focused on clear outcomes that matter to them.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving effective communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made or as new challenges come up.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep regular meetings, follow up between sessions, and practice skills in day-to-day settings. The focus remains on practical tools and steps that can be used immediately in life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
