Online care using CBT and Motivational Interviewing
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that maintain substance use. Motivational Interviewing complements this work by helping people explore their ambivalence and strengthen motivation to pursue change, which is especially useful in recovery and decision-focused goals.Deciding which approach or combination will be most helpful is part of the therapeutic process. She approaches selection collaboratively, listening to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting methods as progress and circumstances evolve. Clients take an active role in shaping the focus and tools used in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work or family commitments and allow therapists to deliver practical exercises, motivational support, and cognitive-behavioral techniques in ways that fit daily life.
