How Jenny Uses CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Jenny often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that get in the way of feeling better. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, simple experiments to try between meetings, and practical skills for anxiety, depression, and ADHD challenges.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are a central issue. That approach helps people process traumatic memories at a pace they can tolerate and build coping skills to reduce intense reactions and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jenny works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone meetings, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat work well for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
