Background and approach

Her approach blends client-centered care with practical techniques. She uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused methods to help families identify strengths and small, manageable changes.

Jennifer has three years of post-licensure experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. She has worked with families and individuals on a range of issues including adoption and foster care, co-morbidity, codependency, and drug and alcohol addiction.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows each family's lead and shapes sessions around their priorities, which helps when parents want to work through communication issues or parenting challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practices new responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior changes by teaching clear, practical skills to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what works best for the family. This keeps work focused and grounded in real life needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving. Many families find that a mix of formats helps maintain momentum between appointments while staying accessible from home or elsewhere.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
