About Jennifer
Her background includes work with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and substance use challenges. She also addresses communication and control issues, codependency, commitment questions, and family of origin and relationship patterns. That experience informs practical steps she uses in sessions.
Jennifer’s style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people identify patterns, set small goals, and practice new skills between sessions. Conversations are focused and goal-oriented while making room for emotional processing.
Her clinical toolkit draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with person-centered and solution-focused ideas. Those approaches are used to build coping skills, regulate intense emotions, and improve problem solving in everyday life.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving how people relate to themselves and others, which can help with mood swings and intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining tools from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and offer flexible scheduling. It also lets people use shorter check-ins or phone conversations when a live video session is not practical. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, work to adapt evidence-based techniques so they can be effective across different session setups.
