Her background includes helping people interact with family dependency systems and supporting adolescents in middle and high school. Jennifer draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools when helpful to change thought and behavior cycles. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support readiness for change.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jennifer directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jennifer uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reshape the stories they carry. This approach looks at how problems get framed and opens space to rewrite difficult chapters, which can help with grief, identity, and patterns that recur in relationships.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes the person's experience and pacing. In these sessions the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports the person's own choices and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she brings in to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change addictive habits.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jennifer will work with each person to test methods and adjust based on what fits their goals, values, and comfort level. She often mixes approaches so the work matches the issue at hand rather than sticking to one label.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions or quick processing after stressful moments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue momentum when life gets disrupted.
