Background and approach

Jennifer helps people sort through painful experiences like trauma, loss, and relationship strain so they can feel steadier day to day.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills practice and processing difficult experiences. One common approach involves skills-based work to manage anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and routine strategies that reduce daily overwhelm and improve focus. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and loss through paced conversation and memory work, helping people make sense of painful events and reduce their emotional hold.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adapt methods to match those needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break from work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
