About Jennifer
She uses straightforward, focused methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to address thoughts, habits, and motivation. Jennifer also has experience supporting people with addiction concerns, attention-deficit challenges, bipolar mood patterns, grief, parenting strain, relationship conflicts, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, manageable steps.
Her approach is relaxed and warm. She listens first, then helps shape skills and plans that fit daily life. Humor and a low-pressure pace are part of how she helps people feel more at ease during hard conversations.
Jennifer completed a master’s degree in mental health from Walden University in 2012 and holds the LMHC credential. She continues attending professional seminars to stay current with therapeutic practices. Her background in elementary education and psychology also informs how she explains ideas in plain language.
Outside work she lives in upstate New York with her husband and three children and enjoys cooking, baking, CrossFit, and watching football. She speaks from experience about living with anxiety and depression and values creating a practical, supportive partnership with each person who seeks help.
How CBT and Motivational Interviewing Help Online
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns so people can feel more in control day to day.Motivational Interviewing centers on a person’s own reasons for change. It uses supportive conversation to strengthen motivation for changes like reducing substance use, improving routines, or starting new coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT skills with motivational conversations and checking progress over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation will help, or conversations without video when bandwidth or comfort make that preferable. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
