About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jenny" Nelson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, and grief. She works with clients who are adapting to life changes, building self-esteem, or managing ADHD and relationship challenges. Jenny also has experience supporting people with autism spectrum and intellectual disability concerns.
She uses a straightforward, collaborative approach. Sessions focus on what matters now and practical steps people can try between meetings.
How Jennifer works
Conversations aim to identify strengths and small, manageable changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Jenny draws from several evidence-based methods to fit each person's needs. She blends client-centered listening with skills-based strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when useful.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added to help with focus, motivation, and emotional regulation. Over six years as a licensed clinical social worker, Jenny has worked with varied presentations and learned to adjust pace and tools to each person. She favors clear goals and measurable steps so progress is easier to recognize.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Services are provided online in several formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building on each person’s strengths; online sessions allow for focused conversations where the therapist follows the client’s goals and concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress through structured exercises and homework. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions to reduce overwhelming moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaboratively assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques over time. That means trying methods, tracking what helps, and adjusting plans together to make steady, usable progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through multiple formats: video calls for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions for lower bandwidth needs, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to pick the format that feels most comfortable for skill practice and check-ins.
