About Jennifer
Jennifer has 21 years of experience in counseling and began her training with undergraduate work at Florida State University. She completed a master’s degree in Art Therapy while at Eastern Virginia Medical School and has lived and worked in multiple states. Her background includes many moves as a military spouse, which shaped her experience with a wide range of life situations and populations.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions draw from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, and practical education about how thoughts and behaviors interact. Jennifer emphasizes understanding where feelings come from and building simple coping tools that fit into daily life.
Trauma and difficult life experiences are a primary focus. She helps people name painful patterns, practice small changes, and develop skills to reduce overwhelm over time. The goal is to increase resilience and give people clearer choices about how they want to respond to stress.
Jennifer uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused and Jungian ideas when helpful. She works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s situation and goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns, and it can be useful for people struggling with trust, intimacy, or abandonment issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on giving a person space to tell their story while the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental support, which helps people build insight and self-acceptance.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps shape session focus and which techniques get emphasized over time.
Confirm current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering options when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment work, and client-centered conversations to an online setting to address stress, trauma, relationship concerns, and coping skills in ways that match everyday life.
