About Jennifer

Background and approach
Jennifer often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to support values-based choices and to listen deeply to each person’s story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when skills practice is helpful.
Sessions move at a client’s pace. The therapist works collaboratively to build goals and track small changes. Many people find steady, achievable steps reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.
Jennifer encourages anyone who is nervous about beginning therapy to recognize that taking the first step matters. She guides clients through the process in a calm, respectful way and helps them focus on what matters most to them.

Online session options
Online approaches that shape sessions
Jennifer blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people tell their story differently so problems feel less defining, which can ease family tension and self-criticism. ACT focuses on values and small actions, guiding people to live in ways that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods together. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how to adapt them for an online format. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and hold fuller conversations. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or being off camera is easier. Live chat or text messages are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs a shorter touchpoint between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy days.Common questions about this listing
