Jenny has a particular passion for supporting women and children who have experienced trauma, and she focuses on building trust while responding to each personâs unique needs. She is mostly trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Client-Centered therapy, and Solution-Focused therapy, and she often draws from multiple approaches to tailor care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the clientâs experience guides sessions - it helps people feel heard and supported while exploring personal goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jenny works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws from different techniques to create a plan that feels right for each person.

Online therapy with Jenny is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, work, or while traveling, and they allow therapy to continue in ways that fit daily life and obligations.
