She aims to be direct and respectful in the way she talks through difficult material.
Clients can expect clear plans, skill-based practice, and a focus on real-world changes. Jennifer supports exploration of anger and other intense emotions without judgment. Before booking, people should check current session options to confirm formats and scheduling details.
How sessions work
How CBT, Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing work online
Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and repetitive patterns. Mindfulness teaches brief attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve awareness of emotions.She also uses motivational interviewing to help clarify values and build readiness for change, especially around substance use or addictive behaviors. That approach is conversational and focused on supporting personal reasons for change rather than imposing a plan. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative; she will discuss options and pick what fits the client's goals and pace.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, remove travel time, or use a shorter check-in when life is busy. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth, and video sessions allow visual cues for teaching skills. The therapist will work with each person to arrange times and a session style that fits their routine and goals.
