How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and everyday habits, offering practical exercises to change unhelpful reactions and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and adjustments can be made as therapy proceeds.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel time, taking a shorter check-in during a work break, or choosing a non-video option when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote use and help people practise new habits between sessions.
