Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Jena lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her practice and mentions cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which often helps with mood instability and relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That process includes trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They can also let people consult from different locations within the same region when that is needed. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, will discuss what format best supports each person’s goals.
