How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood shifts. She also integrates the Gottman Method to focus on concrete communication skills and coping strategies for relationship stress.She aims to find which methods fit each person's needs rather than sticking to one approach. The therapist will work with the client to choose techniques based on goals, current challenges, and what feels most useful. That choice is revisited as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and practical.
