Motivational interviewing helps people find reasons to change and build plans that feel doable. The Gottman Method informs her approach to communication and repair when relationship issues arise. Her style is collaborative and practical.

Online support
Online approaches that connect relationships and symptoms
Jennifer often uses Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships and daily routines influence mood and behavior, helping people spot patterns and small changes that shift dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, manageable behaviors that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. The Gottman Method provides straightforward communication tools and repair strategies for people experiencing relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques and pace the work to fit the person’s needs and life demands.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more practical. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or breathing exercises between appointments. These options let people fit therapy around work, medical care, or parenting schedules and make it easier to keep consistent progress.
