Online session options
Narrative and Acceptance-Based Care Online
Jennifer often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories that shape their feelings and choices, helping them notice different perspectives and possibilities. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts while acting on personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based ideas are used to look at patterns in close relationships and to build clearer communication and connection.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods best match their goals, preferences, and everyday life. Sessions start by identifying what matters most, then testing small, realistic steps to move toward those goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video offers a conversation close to an in-person session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can fit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and try therapy without major disruptions to work, caregiving, or travel.
