Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Jennifer Gaeta draws from approaches that translate well to remote work, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and can help with grief, loneliness, and difficulties in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist follows the client�s agenda and supports self-directed growth, which can be especially helpful for those facing life transitions and questions of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jennifer works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine what fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions so that therapy aligns with each person�s priorities and pace.

Online therapy with Jennifer is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow clients to continue work on coping skills and life adjustments from wherever they are.
