About Jennifer
Jennifer Lawrence is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach centers on listening and supporting each person as they figure out the next steps for their life.
Jennifer draws on client-centered methods to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people identify patterns, set goals, and try practical changes.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building and step-by-step plans that match the person’s pace. Her background includes work in schools and a residential treatment facility, where she provided academic, career, and mental health counseling. That variety has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs and life stages.
She has about nine years of counseling experience. Jennifer earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration, and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. She also holds a Certification in Rehabilitation Counseling (CRC) focused on supporting people with chronic illnesses and disabilities.
Outside of work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and time with family and friends. She offers online sessions and aims to support people as they set goals, build coping skills, and make practical changes in their daily lives.
Approaches and ways online therapy can help
Jennifer uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the person’s goals lead the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people decide what matters most to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try specific, small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to an in-person visit and let visual cues guide the session. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
