Jennifer has worked in mental health for over 26 years and focuses on practical steps families can use day to day.
She has supported parents through major life changes and helped clients build better coping skills.

She is pursuing a Special Education teaching certificate and lists LISW-CP as her professional credential. Her background blends school-focused experience and clinical practice.
In sessions she focuses on clear, evidence-based techniques that help people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice new skills. She uses tools that parents and young people can apply between visits. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She works with each family to set realistic goals and build routines that fit everyday life.
How evidence-based techniques fit into online care
Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral approaches that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can help with anxiety, panic, and low confidence by teaching clear steps to try between sessions.She also draws on structured social skills curricula that teach specific social strategies and practice opportunities. These methods focus on role-playing, feedback, and step-by-step skill building to support children, teens, and young adults who struggle with social interactions or ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to your goals, needs, and family routines. That includes checking in and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow skill practice at home and make it simpler to involve caregivers in planning and learning.
