Practical Therapy Approaches, Designed for Online Support

Terry Jensen draws from several evidence-informed styles to help clients make sense of what they are experiencing and build skills they can use day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing more balanced, workable responses.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier experiences and long-standing themes can influence current relationships, self-esteem, and coping. It supports deeper insight, which can make it easier to change patterns that feel stuck. Mindfulness Therapy adds practical ways to notice thoughts and emotions without getting swept away by them, helping clients respond with more steadiness during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terry collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit the person and the pace of therapy, adjusting over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, whether a client prefers face-to-face conversation, a phone check-in, or writing between sessions.
