Background and approach
Jennifer works at each person’s pace and centers the conversation on the goals the client brings. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. Over nearly two decades she has supported people through mood struggles, substance use concerns, codependency, and major life changes.
Jennifer draws from acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing techniques. She blends these methods to match what the person needs in the moment and over time. If you are coping with anger, low self-esteem, attachment issues, or the fallout of divorce or loss, she offers steady guidance and clear steps.
The work is collaborative and focused on helping clients regain functioning, hope, and a sense of purpose.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes when avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with mood disorders, anxiety, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the person feels heard and can set their own goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused on practical change and comfort with the work.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let clients check in between sessions, share quick updates, or use words instead of speaking when that is easier. These options make regular therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
