How Jenna’s approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early connections shape current relationships. It focuses on patterns in closeness and trust, and can be useful for people coping with abandonment, caregiver stress, or attachment issues.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. Sessions are guided by what the client brings, with the therapist reflecting, listening, and helping the person find their own solutions for issues like grief, depression, or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes small experiments and homework to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or improve coping with life changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they can try one method or combine tools from different approaches to match the client’s needs.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered for online work. Many people find that working remotely makes it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduces travel time, and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to bring session learning into daily routines and follow through on practical steps between meetings.
