Background and approach
Those roles shaped a hands-on, problem-solving approach and a comfort with crisis and complex needs. Jenny’s style centers on the person rather than a label. She listens for strengths and builds on them.
Sessions aim to be straightforward - identify what’s getting in the way, test small changes, and notice what helps. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to address anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting stress, trauma, and other concerns. She also draws from client-centered and mindfulness ideas to tailor support to each person.
Jenny has experience across diverse communities, including LGBTQ+ clients and people with visible and invisible disabilities. She emphasizes respect for different backgrounds and works to create a nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of coping. Clients can expect clear goals, practical tools, and steady encouragement.
Jenny aims to guide people toward small, meaningful changes that fit their daily life.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s own strengths. It’s about understanding what matters to the person and shaping sessions around their values and goals. This style helps when someone needs a respectful, steady place to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood-related concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. DBT can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when reactions cause repeated problems.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try out methods, and adjust based on how things are working. Clients help set goals and choose tools that fit their life and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues; phone can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging allows brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help blend therapy into a busy schedule and make it easier to keep regular contact with a licensed professional.
