Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, values-driven steps forward while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them; it is often effective for depression, anxiety, and coping with daily challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that supports readiness for change by exploring motivation and ambivalence; it is commonly used for addictions, behavior change, and enhancing commitment to goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts strategies over time so care feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage in therapy from locations that work for them and to choose formats that fit their schedules and communication styles. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and to tailor the pace and structure of sessions to each person’s life.
