Jennifer Cole

Jennifer Cole is an LMSW who has practiced social work for eight years in Michigan. She focuses on helping people make meaningful changes after hard experiences. Jennifer invites clients to take small, steady steps toward a different outcome than the one they may expect right now.

She works with people coping with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life transitions. Jennifer also supports those managing ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, and career or caregiver strain. Her practice includes attention to issues like abandonment, attachment, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Jennifer uses several approaches to guide therapy. She draws on Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-Centered methods help center each person’s goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Sessions tend to focus on making small, doable changes that add up over time. Jennifer aims to help people heal from the past, manage the present, and plan for a healthier future. She often works with women navigating transitions such as breakups, divorce, infertility, or recovery after assault.

The first meeting is treated as a chance to get oriented and set goals together. Jennifer describes therapy as a shared journey where she walks alongside each person while they learn to let go of grief, anger, or old patterns. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence feelings and behavior today. Online work with attachment ideas means noticing interaction patterns, practicing new ways of relating, and building more secure connections in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pace. In sessions the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people name what matters most to them so they can make steady changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Online CBT often uses short exercises between sessions, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments to test new ideas in real situations.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative process helps people try strategies without committing to a single path from the start.

Session logistics vary by clinician and setting, and the biography does not list specific formats. Before booking, confirm which session types are available. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy days, make shorter check-ins possible, and reduce travel time. Online sessions also let people use written or in-session exercises that can be revisited between meetings.
