About Jennifer

Her work centers on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs, ensuring that their concerns shape the direction of therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jennifer integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to foster self-awareness and personal growth - it is often helpful for emotional support, life transitions, and improving self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood.
She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when clients are exploring change or grappling with ambivalence; this approach uses collaborative conversation to strengthen motivation and clarify personal goals. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy with Jennifer is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that feels most manageable for an individual’s life.
