How Jenny’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client name what matters most; this approach is useful for building self-understanding and emotional safety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Jenny uses simple exercises to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to practice different responses that reduce anxiety or lift mood.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on clarifying goals and increasing motivation. It helps people weigh options and find internal reasons to change, which can be useful for career decisions or breaking patterns that cause stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process is meant to match the approach to real needs rather than force a single method.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. It can reduce travel time and help people keep regular appointments around work, caregiving, or other commitments. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so the logistics fit your schedule.
