Approaches that translate well to online care

Jenna commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes that lead to relief; it suits anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and mood concerns. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of trauma through careful processing and coping strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness practices to help people notice their experience and build acceptance alongside change. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and the use of visual tools. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit into a brief break. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and consistent progress.
