About Jennifer
She has worked with adolescents and adults in a variety of clinical settings. That background includes helping people cope with bipolar mood patterns, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those navigating identity questions, intimacy issues, and the stresses that come with caregiving or chronic health conditions.
Clinically, Jennifer blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and EMDR when trauma memories are a central concern. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the relationship warm and grounded.
Her years in different settings give her practical tools for everyday problems. Sessions typically focus on realistic goals and concrete strategies. Jennifer encourages people to try techniques between meetings and to bring feedback so therapy can be adjusted.
She practices with a straightforward, caring style. People who want clear steps and empathetic listening may find her approach helpful. Please confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when past traumatic memories are creating distress, and it involves structured techniques to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts strategies over time and monitors what helps, so the plan evolves with feedback from the client.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or phone in ways that match their bandwidth and daily routine. Licensed professionals, including Jennifer, tailor online sessions to focus on skills, coping strategies, and processing painful memories in ways that fit everyday life.
