How her approaches are used in online sessions
Jenny commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test different behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and between-session tasks that target symptoms like anxiety and depression.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize a person’s own perspective and goals. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities guide the pace of work. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help clarifying values and increasing motivation for change, such as in career decisions or caregiving choices.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss options and pick methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. That planning happens in early sessions and can be adjusted as needed.
