Approaches that guide online work and wellbeing
Jennifer commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy into her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning at work and home. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, which can be useful for career decisions and life transitions.She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to improve how people relate to others and themselves. These approaches look at patterns in relationships and prioritize a respectful, listening stance so clients feel understood before making changes. Finding the best approach is collaborative; she will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences.
