How approaches like ACT, CBT, and mindfulness work online

Jennifer uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people name what matters and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions feel overwhelming. Acceptance and commitment techniques focus on noticing feelings, clarifying priorities, and committing to actions that match those priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that change mood and functioning. CBT often involves short exercises and experiments between sessions to test new ways of thinking. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity through simple breathing and grounding practices useful for stress, anxiety, and chronic pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss options and help decide what fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor exercises, homework, and session pacing to each individual.
