About Jennifer
She draws on ten years of experience as a LICSW and an LCSW and focuses on what matters in everyday life. Sessions address things like self-esteem, workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and the demands of caregiving or chronic illness. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care questions and challenges around aging.
Jennifer combines simple, skills-based tools with space to talk about meaning and values. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior techniques, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. She adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
She also pays attention to family dynamics, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Conversations often include practical steps for daily coping and ways to strengthen important relationships. Clients leave with small, doable actions they can try between sessions.
Jennifer describes her role as a companion in change. She aims to help people notice what matters to them, set manageable goals, and build habits that support long-term wellbeing. The tone in sessions is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on forward movement.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with grief, anxiety, anger, and making meaningful life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, and is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to test methods, adjust techniques, and pick what fits the client's goals and daily life. This happens together over a few sessions rather than being decided up front.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how she currently meets with clients. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to use therapy during work breaks or between appointments, and it can make repeating skill practice at home more practical. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness and CBT exercises to an online setting so clients can try tools in real time and report back on how they worked.
