Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jenifer often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and feeling stuck.She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help people understand repeated problems in close relationships and work toward different interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jenifer will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful, and then try approaches that fit the person's needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time based on what is working.
