Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Jennifer Ladd draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially practical in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and then practicing new ways of responding. It is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while staying connected to personal values and meaningful action. This approach can be helpful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or pulled off course by worry, self-criticism, or painful experiences.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape emotional needs, boundaries, and connection. It can support work around relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, and patterns such as abandonment fears or codependency.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer collaborates with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adapts the plan over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and stay engaged between sessions.
