How therapeutic techniques translate to online care
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical, goal-focused work. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Behavioral skill-building focuses on practicing coping strategies and small actions that reduce stress and support recovery from addictions or isolation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match techniques to goals, needs, and preferences, and they adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients can expect ongoing conversation about what helps and what to try next.
