How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anger that comes from frustration or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives concrete skills to interrupt unhelpful reactions, such as outbursts or rumination.Jennifer will work with clients to figure out which methods fit best. That process is collaborative - she reviews goals, suggests approaches, and adjusts plans based on how the client responds. The choice of techniques can shift over time depending on progress and practical needs.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example allowing shorter check-ins, arranging sessions around work hours, or choosing options that don’t require being on camera. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical options to make therapy manageable alongside parenting, work, and other responsibilities.
