Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer Clegg draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns that maintain distress and to build practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with strategies that improve mood and day-to-day functioning, which can be helpful for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that work, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family obligations and to maintain continuity of care when life is busy, while still working with licensed professionals who can guide skill-building and recovery.
