About Jennifer
Jennifer Gadberry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, and struggles with relationships or self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and supportive for those ready to make changes.
She draws from client-centered work, which starts by listening and building a respectful relationship. That foundation leads to practical steps, often using cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and Solution-Focused strategies to set small, achievable goals.
How Jennifer works
Sessions often include exercises for managing emotions and skills to handle everyday challenges. Her background includes crisis counseling, outpatient work, and time as a therapist in a residential treatment setting for children and teens. She has also taught psychology at the college level and spent years counseling people through life transitions.
These roles contribute to a blend of real-world experience and classroom knowledge. Jennifer brings a warm, humanistic perspective and cites a Christian faith foundation as part of her outlook. She emphasizes strengths and practical steps over blame.
Clients will find straightforward planning, coping techniques, and attention to both thoughts and behaviors. Therapy with her tends to focus on clear goals and steady progress. People work together to identify next steps, try simple exercises between sessions, and adjust plans as needed.
The tone is hopeful and goal-oriented, aimed at building skills for everyday life.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a respectful connection. Online sessions allow the same focus on hearing a person's story, reflecting feelings, and working together to set goals that feel right for the individual.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this can mean practicing thought records, trying behavioral experiments between meetings, and learning skills to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms in daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals. The online format supports short planning conversations and quick check-ins to track progress and adjust goals as needed. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best, based on the person's concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice is not fixed and can change as work progresses.
Online work offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls are useful for full sessions that feel close to in-person meetings. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing tracking of skills between longer sessions. These options help people access therapy in ways that fit their day-to-day life.
