How Jennifer works
Her style blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, narrative methods, and motivational interviewing. These methods are used to address patterns of thought, painful memories, and motivation for change.
In the room she helps people identify where problems start and what gets in the way of feeling better. She spots strengths clients already have and turns those into useful strategies. Sessions may include skill practice, values clarification, and short exercises to shift thinking and behavior.
Jennifer earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Trinity International University. She holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and has spent nearly two decades providing counseling in community settings. Her work aims to help people move through hard times and regain a clearer sense of direction.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It is often used when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace; the therapist listens closely and helps people find their own answers and strengths.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That makes it easier to try methods that match a person’s needs and adjust the plan over time in collaboration with the client.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and do deeper work when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when a camera is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework, or when written reflection helps. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and to use methods that work best for each person.
