Online support
Approach and online therapy options
Jennifer often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, abandonment worries, and communication problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small, value-driven steps even when difficult feelings are present.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your concerns and goals and suggest methods that fit your needs. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most for your situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when you need short, timely support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands and to maintain regular contact over time.
