Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Jenna uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients shape the goals and pace of work. That helps people feel heard before moving into techniques that address specific problems.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into clear steps to practice between sessions.

For trauma-related distress she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method that helps lessen the intensity of painful memories while working through them in a paced way online or by phone.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, history, and personal goals, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clear.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other life demands.
