Approaches that translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by teaching clear skills and step-by-step strategies. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation that follows the person's pace and goals; it helps people feel heard and supported while they sort out next steps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with stress, anger, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Jennings will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. The process is collaborative so methods are chosen together based on what feels most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
