How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific symptoms and behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on how thoughts affect feelings and actions, helping people practice new reactions to anxiety, panic, and obsessive thoughts. Behavioral experiments and exposure-style practice help reduce avoidance and build tolerance for feared social situations.She also draws on skills training to teach practical tools for managing stress, impulsivity, and problematic eating behaviors. This includes stepwise exercises, short skills practice between sessions, and monitoring progress with concrete goals. These methods are commonly used for panic attacks, compulsions, and body-image difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review what the person needs, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. Clients take part in deciding which tools to keep or change as work continues.
