Therapeutic Approaches and Online Practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take committed action toward what matters, while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills practice, which can help with mood, sleep, and coping strategies. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and bodily responses to reduce their intensity and support integration.

Finding the right approach is collaborative and part of the therapeutic process. Jenna works with clients to explore which methods feel most relevant to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to better address symptoms like compulsive behaviors, relational patterns, or attention-related challenges such as ADHD.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when sessions occur, with options for video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow continuity of care across locations within her practice region, and provide multiple ways to engage with exercises and in-the-moment support depending on what feels most accessible for each person.
