About Jennifer
Jennifer Dunn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She has five years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Jennifer works with people facing relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, trauma and grief, and intimacy or anger problems.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She focuses on listening first and then tailoring conversations and goals to each person's situation.
How Jennifer works
Sessions are practical and aim to help people make small changes that add up to real relief. Jennifer also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment, and blended family dynamics. She helps with caregiver stress, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and problems that come from family of origin patterns.
These topics are woven into therapy when relevant to a client's current struggles. She works with people coping with bipolar disorder symptoms and the impact those symptoms can have on relationships and daily life. Jennifer supports those navigating infidelity, divorce and separation, and the guilt and shame that can follow painful events.
Jennifer asks clients to set clear goals and checks in on progress regularly. She adapts the pace and plan as needs change. For many people a few focused conversations can shift how they handle conflict, stress, and connection.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach emphasizes improving communication and problem solving within relationships to reduce conflict and build connection. Another approach centers on helping people manage anxiety and overwhelming emotions by learning clear coping strategies and step-by-step tools that fit daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client, try methods that align with goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs and preferences guide decisions about which techniques to use.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or deeper interaction is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or for people who prefer typed communication. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
