Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Jenifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems like anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes building practical skills for communication and managing strong emotions, which helps with parenting challenges, impulsivity, and conflict.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jenifer works together with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts methods over time so sessions stay relevant and manageable for the person she is working with.
The practice’s session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten commute time, and reduce the need to rearrange a whole day for a session.
