Background and approach

She has worked with veterans and people who have personality disorder diagnoses, and she draws on trauma-focused methods when appropriate. Jennifer integrates approaches that help people manage upsetting memories, strong emotions, and ongoing stress.

Practical supports often include skills for sleep, tools for coping with anxiety, and strategies to reduce codependent patterns. She also helps people navigate caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and recovery after disasters. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the person seeking help.

Jennifer uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of her work.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and building small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. It helps people move toward a life they care about rather than getting stuck trying to avoid distress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It is often used when strong emotions or relationship patterns make daily life harder.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps people work through upsetting memories and the feelings that come with them. When used in session, it is aimed at reducing the intensity of distress tied to specific events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and comfort level. That choice can change as therapy progresses and needs shift.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when visual cues help the process. Phone sessions can fit into shorter breaks or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
