Over ten years of practice, she has worked in inpatient hospitals and community mental health settings, gaining experience across many care environments.

Her work draws on person-centered principles so that therapy is built around each person's needs. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as tools to address stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, relationship struggles, and self-esteem issues. Jennie adapts these methods to match what a person brings to sessions.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Jennie helps people build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and improve daily functioning. She focuses on small, concrete steps that add up over time.

Jennie also has experience with a wider set of concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication and commitment problems, and topics related to sexual expression and kink. People interested in working with her can expect clear communication about next steps and a straightforward path to scheduling.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Jennie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core tools. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. ACT teaches how to accept difficult emotions while committing to values-based actions, which can be useful during pregnancy transitions and parenting adjustments.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Jennie works with each person to see which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life, and she adapts as needs change. Clients help set goals and decide which techniques to try, so therapy stays focused and practical.

Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life gets hectic. It also helps keep appointments consistent during major life changes such as pregnancy or recovery after childbirth. Ask about the available session methods and scheduling to find what will work best for you.
