Online support
How Jen’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and safety in the therapy relationship. Online sessions use that connection to help clients notice patterns from early bonds and try new ways of relating in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical steps to accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based action, which helps with stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches clear tools to shift them, useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different strategies together to see what fits best. Treatment is adjusted over time based on what helps you meet practical goals and feel more functioning in day-to-day life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session with visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you need a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written coaching, and flexible contact between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and school schedules while using the therapeutic approaches above.
