Background and approach
She encourages small, achievable changes and uses clear, everyday language. The work is collaborative - she listens, offers tools, and adjusts the pace to what feels right for the client. Her background includes seven years as an LMFT in Wisconsin.
That clinical experience has included supporting people who struggle with anger, motivation, confidence, and the impacts of trauma. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. Sessions with Jennie often focus on problem solving, skill building, and exploring unhelpful patterns.
She helps clients unpack guilt, shame, and isolation while also working toward more self-love and a clearer sense of life purpose. Communication problems and forgiveness are common topics she addresses. Jennie aims to make therapy usable in everyday life.
She helps clients set realistic goals, practice new habits between sessions, and notice progress in small steps. Her approach is steady, practical, and aimed at helping people regain a sense of direction and resilience.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and stress care
Jennie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on building skills and reducing symptoms. One approach emphasizes teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress - clients learn breathing, grounding, and activity-based strategies to help reduce overwhelm in the moment. This kind of work helps people manage day-to-day symptoms and regain a sense of control.Another common strand of her work addresses the effects of trauma and painful emotions. This approach helps people make sense of what happened, reduce reactivity, and develop safer ways of responding to triggers. It also targets shame, guilt, and struggles with self-worth so clients can rebuild confidence and purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennie works together with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and encourages small experiments between sessions to see what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection and quick touch points between longer sessions. These options help clients fit therapy into busy days and maintain steady progress.
