Approaches for online care and practical change
Jennie uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as the main approaches in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience so they feel respected and heard. It helps people who need emotional support and a space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, phobias, and patterns that keep people stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennie will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor sessions to fit. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to the client's progress.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing out thoughts helps more than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum.
