About Jennifer
Jennifer Christensen is an LCSW based in Utah who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps that people can use right away. Jennifer uses straightforward techniques to help clients feel more capable and steady.
With five years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, she blends several approaches to match each person's needs. Her work includes attention to attachment challenges, blended family issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and separation or divorce concerns.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with emptiness, family of origin wounds, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Jennifer has worked with people affected by post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse. Her background includes nonclinical social work roles that involved psychoeducation, community engagement, and grant facilitation.
That mix informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Clients can expect clear goals, step-by-step strategies, and gentle encouragement. Jennifer draws on mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing to help people build small habits that add up.
When trauma is part of the story, she incorporates trauma-focused tools to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Her approach is collaborative. She aims to help each person identify strengths, try workable skills, and track progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches that fit online care
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It breaks skills into short, usable steps people can practice between sessions to lower reactivity and improve communication. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and change patterns in close relationships by focusing on emotions and underlying needs. It is useful when communication problems or attachment wounds are part of the difficulty. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort, and daily life. That means trying techniques, adjusting as needed, and tracking what helps most. Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let therapists and clients work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep appointments, stay consistent, and make steady progress without rearranging a full day.Questions people ask
