About Jennifer

She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and test new behaviors. Narrative and solution-focused methods are used to clarify strengths, restructure problem descriptions, and find practical next steps. Motivational Interviewing helps when people are weighing change or facing substance use concerns.
People coming for help can expect straightforward planning and regular check-ins. Jennifer emphasizes improving communication between parents and children and reducing conflict. To start, she asks about immediate concerns and what one hopes to change in the near term.
How Jennifer uses structured approaches in online work
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and then try different behaviors to see what changes. CBT is practical and focuses on specific problems like anxiety, mood, and patterns of reacting in relationships.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person’s experience and priorities. That approach supports clearer communication and helps decide what to work on next. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels uncertain about change; it helps clarify personal reasons for change and build small, achievable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will talk through goals, preferences, and past attempts at change, then recommend which methods to use and adjust them as needed. The plan is collaborative and revisited over time.
