About Jennifer
Jennifer Buer is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, face depression, build self esteem, and cope with big life changes. Jennifer focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She creates a space where people can say what they are feeling and thinking without worrying about being blamed. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and to set small, doable goals.
How Jennifer works
Jennifer combines different therapeutic tools to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful action. Emotion-focused techniques help identify and work through strong feelings.
Therapy with Jennifer also uses motivational interviewing and dialectical behavior ideas when people need help finding motivation or managing intense emotions. She emphasizes skills that can be practiced in daily life so progress can continue between appointments. Signing up begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Jennifer encourages people to take that first step and recognizes it often takes courage. The goal is steady, manageable change that fits each person’s life.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on clarity and coping
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand strong feelings and the needs behind them, which can be useful when working through family conflict or relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches what a person needs right now and what they hope to change.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversations and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or shorter updates when a full session won't fit the day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
