How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jenna often blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help when guilt or shame is tied to family or close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and uses reflective listening to clarify values and goals. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep shame and guilt active.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to try methods and see what helps most, adjusting focus based on the person's concerns, goals, and comfort with different techniques.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or choose a simpler audio call if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can also use exercises and homework between meetings to reinforce skills learned during sessions.
