About Jennifer
Jennifer Lawrence helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out by life. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with nine years of clinical experience. Jennifer writes short, direct plans with clients and offers clear steps to move forward.
She grew up in rural Virginia and was known early on as someone who helps others. That background shaped her interest in counseling and in working alongside people as they sort through tough choices.
How Jennifer works
She has provided academic, career, and mental health counseling in schools and in a residential treatment setting. Jennifer uses a person-centered style that starts with the client as the expert on their life. From there she brings in practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to build skills and clarify goals.
She also draws on trauma-focused techniques when past harm is part of the story. Sessions focus on building motivation, identifying small workable steps, and reducing obstacles that get in the way. Jennifer often helps people develop coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and sleep problems, and she supports work on relationship concerns, career decisions, and recovery from addiction.
Her training includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, a Master of Education in higher education administration, and a Master of Science in rehabilitation counseling. She also holds a Certification in Rehabilitation Counseling that centers on helping people with chronic illness and disability. Outside work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and time with family and friends.
Her style is straightforward, encouraging, and focused on practical progress.

Approaches and online options for practical change
Jennifer blends person-centered work with cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients identify patterns and try new behaviors. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the client's lead so the person feels heard and decides the direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks concerns into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by exploring values and building internal motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match goals, needs, and comfort level. That can mean trying a short CBT exercise, using motivational interviewing questions to boost readiness, or staying largely person-centered while developing small steps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and work in longer sessions, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for short check-ins, keeping momentum between sessions, and practicing new skills in real time. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals from different locations and routines.
