Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Jennifer often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR when addressing trauma and chronic stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and how much they affect daily life.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness to teach concrete strategies for regulating emotion and improving day-to-day coping. DBT skills help with managing intense emotions and improving communication, while mindfulness practices support better attention and calmer reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust those methods as progress is made.
