Approaches you may use and how online sessions fit
Jennifer commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape reactions. That approach can help when anger shows up in close relationships or when patterns repeat across relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce stress and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means reviewing what has worked before, what feels doable now, and adjusting plans as progress is made.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting appointments into workdays, reducing travel time, or having a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. If you want to discuss how virtual meetings might fit your routine, the initial matching questionnaire and first session are a good place to sort out practical details and preferences.
