How evidence-based tools translate to online therapy
Jennie uses well-established therapeutic techniques and adapts them for remote work in straightforward ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and reactions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and improve relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Video Telehealth is mentioned as a way Jennie connects with clients, but confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use approaches like skills practice, guided exercises, and homework assignments in the moments they matter most.
