Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Jennifer Outlaw often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and problem-focused, commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes values-driven action and learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings to improve psychological flexibility. Client-centered principles guide her interactions as well, offering empathic listening and collaboration to shape treatment around each person's goals and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Outlaw works with clients to explore which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time based on progress and feedback. This helps ensure therapy feels useful and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it possible to practice skills between meetings, maintain momentum during life transitions, and receive ongoing support without geographic constraints while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
