Evidence-based approaches, made accessible through online care
Jennifer (Jen) Sherman draws from skills-based and relationship-focused methods that translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or relationship conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, helping clients build flexibility and move forward during life changes or periods of uncertainty.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then tailors sessions to fit their needs and pace. The process can evolve over time as new insights and priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility, making it easier to stay consistent with support. Sessions can happen through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging to continue reflecting and practicing skills between appointments. This variety can help therapy fit into busy schedules and changing routines.
