About Jennifer
Jennifer Kordell uses a client-centered way of working that keeps each person’s goals in focus. She speaks plainly, listens carefully, and meets people where they are. Jennifer holds a Minnesota LICSW, and she draws on practical tools to help with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and problems with self-esteem.
Her style is warm, straightforward, and patient. Sessions move at the client’s pace, whether that means small steps or setting clearer goals.
How Jennifer works
She encourages people to build on strengths they already have while learning new skills for coping and communication. Jennifer also integrates cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior techniques when they suit a person’s needs. That looks like working together to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try small behavioral changes, and practice emotion regulation strategies.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are other tools she pulls in to increase awareness and motivation. Her practice experience includes working with people facing life changes, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and end-of-life concerns. She has helped people address relationship communication, codependency, body image, guilt and shame, and loneliness.
Jennifer aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life. Sessions are offered in English and delivered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She has three years of clinical experience and holds a Minnesota Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential (LICSW).
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Jennifer often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the person's lead. That approach helps people clarify what matters to them and set goals at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes to behavior and mood.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the person’s needs, and adjust things based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility in how people connect. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions, phone calls work well for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or work breaks and to choose the format that feels most manageable.
