She meets people where they are and works alongside them to reduce suffering and build forward momentum.

Background and approach
Jenny helps clients identify patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Together they set clear, manageable goals and try small changes that add up over time. Her work often addresses substance use and the toll it takes on individuals and loved ones.
She supports people facing drug or alcohol addiction and helps those affected by another person’s substance use find ways to cope and set boundaries. She also helps with mood disorders, including bipolar concerns, and with persistent worry or low mood. Jenny uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness and acceptance work to increase emotional tolerance. Dialectical skills and a client-centered stance guide sessions so people feel heard while learning new ways to handle stress and relationships. People who choose Jenny can expect direct, compassionate conversation and a focus on practical steps.
She supports growth through self-reflection, skill-building, and steady encouragement.
Practical approaches for online therapy and recovery
Jenny often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for staying motivated during recovery from substance use.She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that translate well to online sessions and support change in daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that suit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying a technique for a few weeks and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and teachable moments. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, or recovery demands.
