Background and approach
Sessions focus on real problems and step-by-step ways to handle them. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on building personal confidence. She uses a mix of strategies drawn from cognitive and dialectical behavior approaches.

Jennifer has worked in hospitals and outpatient settings, supporting people as they process grief, trauma, and life transitions.
She helps people reframe challenges, address family-of-origin issues, and cope with caregiver stress or blended family dynamics. Her background includes work with end-of-life concerns and hospice-related counseling. People who come to her can expect a collaborative working relationship.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts that influence their feelings and actions. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, and problems with self-esteem by teaching practical thought and behavior changes.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help manage strong emotions and improve distress tolerance. DBT-style techniques include grounding, emotion regulation, and skills for clearer communication during heated moments.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy with her offers several practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for short check-ins, reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum while working toward goals.
