Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jennifer Dalton uses evidence-informed techniques tailored to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action. It can be helpful for people facing anxiety, life transitions, or uncertainty about goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work - this approach supports self-exploration, improved communication, and stronger relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors by teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and challenges, and together they determine which techniques fit best. That collaborative planning helps ensure therapy stays focused and relevant to each person’s life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging allow people to connect from home, during work breaks, or while traveling. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy schedule.
