About Jennifer
She uses clear, calm conversation to help people name what feels hard. Sessions often focus on small, doable changes and on building skills to cope with upsetting feelings. Jennifer pays attention to the needs of older adults, caregivers, and people navigating midlife shifts or changes tied to aging.
Her work blends practical tools with attention to personal values. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people break unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered methods are also part of her practice when the situation calls for them.
Jennifer brings six years of clinical experience to her practice and holds LICSW credentials. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide each step. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, with an emphasis on realistic next steps rather than long academic talk.
People who seek her help can expect a focus on improving daily functioning, easing distress, and finding clearer direction during transitions. She encourages clients to explore values, rebuild routines, and practice skills that fit their real-life demands.
How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is often helpful for life transitions, grief, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steady routines during change.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jennifer works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjusts the plan as people try things and give feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or letting someone choose a quieter time of day. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework so people can practice skills between sessions and apply them to daily routines.
