Jennifer has worked as a licensed professional counselor for 21 years in Missouri. She has experience supporting adults, adolescents, and people dealing with trauma, relationship problems, and mood challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with sleep issues, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on listening and building a genuine therapeutic relationship. She uses client-centered methods to help people clarify their goals and feel heard.
Jennifer also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and teach practical coping strategies. Emotion-focused ideas and mindfulness practices are part of her toolbox when emotions feel overwhelming. She aims to help clients notice patterns in thoughts and feelings, then try new behaviors that match their values.
Sessions often include simple exercises and homework that fit into daily life. Jennifer offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to start and then schedule sessions based on availability.
Her work is grounded in steady support and real-world skills that people can use right away.
How Jennifer's approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client directs the pace and goals. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and feel understood before moving into skills work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT often includes short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that people can use between video or phone sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and make sense of strong emotions so they can respond differently in relationships and stressful moments. When feelings feel big, simple labeling and grounding techniques taught in sessions can reduce reactivity and open new options.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will discuss options and try methods collaboratively based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She combines listening with clear plans and adjusts techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls let you use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging works for brief check-ins or scheduling. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other responsibilities while still using focused therapeutic tools.
