Approaches used in online sessions

Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening to the person’s goals and reflecting their experience so therapy follows what matters most to them.She also uses motivational interviewing when people want to change habits related to addictions or recurring behaviors. That approach focuses on exploring readiness for change and supporting the client’s own reasons for taking steps forward. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify immediate next steps and build momentum toward concrete goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early sessions. Jennifer collaborates with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
