Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Jennifer brings client-centered listening together with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and creating a collaborative atmosphere where goals emerge from the client’s priorities; it is helpful when someone wants to explore feelings and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust strategies based on what fits best with the client’s goals and preferences rather than assuming a single method from the start.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic techniques across these formats to support progress and accessibility.
