Her approach blends several methods to match the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and change small habits. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and opens space for alternatives. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change.

Jennifer has worked across mood, anxiety, thought, and personality concerns during her career. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, codependency, domestic violence histories, and compassion fatigue. Her long practice has exposed her to a wide range of real-life challenges.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Jennifer commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel unsure about change by clarifying values and building motivation one step at a time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. Together you can try different tools and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy mornings or early afternoons, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online sessions to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life while working toward practical change.
