About Jennifer
She has ten years of experience and holds DC LICSW and VA LCSW credentials. In sessions she often uses acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral tools to break down problems into manageable parts. Mindfulness and client-centered methods shape how she listens and responds to what matters most to each person.
Jennifer also focuses on caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, adoption and foster care concerns, and workplace struggles. She pays attention to how health challenges and life transitions affect daily routines, roles, and identity. The aim is to make change feel practical, not abstract.
Her style is warm and direct. She encourages small experiments between meetings and helps people notice what works. Clients work together with her on values, practical coping skills, and communication strategies.
Jennifer describes her approach as supportive and faith-informed. She offers a non-judgmental space for exploring emotion, setting goals, and testing new ways of coping. To start, she asks about priorities and builds a plan that fits the person’s life.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, mood, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and stress reduction through simple attention practices and breathing exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or a blend fits best. Goals, daily routines, and what the person prefers guide that choice so therapy feels practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try therapeutic tools at home between sessions and practice skills in their usual environment. Licensed professionals can adjust pace and homework to match what is working for each person.
