About Autumn
Autumn Jarvis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people managing stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, and trauma. She focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming. Autumn writes plainly and listens closely so clients feel heard.
She brings 13 years of clinical experience in multiple settings, including community mental health, inpatient psychiatric care, county services, veterans affairs, and outpatient clinics. Her background includes a Master of Social Work, and earlier undergraduate study in vocational rehabilitation with concentrations in substance abuse, criminal justice, and psychiatric rehabilitation.
Background and approach
Autumn aims to create a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions often focus on concrete tools - coping strategies for anxiety, work on motivation for change, and steps to handle grief or difficult relationships. She encourages small, doable changes people can try between appointments.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to clarify values, reduce unhelpful patterns, and build practical habits that fit real life. Outside of clinical work Autumn spends time with her son, two dogs, and enjoys running, CrossFit, reading, and cheering for the Green Bay Packers.
She values simple pleasures like coffee and pizza, and balances her full-time role with this part-time therapy practice.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Autumn commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical strategies to change behaviors and mood, which can help with anxiety, depression, and managing cravings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Autumn will discuss methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan over time. She treats the selection of tools as collaborative and will check in about what is working and what needs to change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins or when typing feels most comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit appointments around work, childcare, or travel while keeping the focus on practical progress.
