Based in Wisconsin, she works with adults who want a supportive, skill-building approach. People who appreciate a respectful, team-style relationship and who want concrete tools to manage stress often find her way of working helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Jennafer uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on what matters most to each person, listening first and shaping the work around the client's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, flexible space to sort through emotions and make decisions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior experiments. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and repetitive negative thoughts because it offers concrete tools and homework to practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennafer collaborates with people to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on what proves helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into work, school, or family schedules because they remove commute time and make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also supports practicing mindfulness exercises, reviewing CBT worksheets together, and keeping momentum between appointments.
