04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding and following the person's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist listen closely and build goals based on what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT tools can be practiced during video or chat sessions and applied between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennafer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions lean more toward mindfulness practice, goal-focused plans, or skills-based CBT exercises.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for full sessions with visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or suit those with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, and ongoing encouragement between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family, work, and other obligations.
