About Jennifer
Jennifer Robart is a licensed clinical social worker who uses focused, practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, grief, and major life changes.

Her background includes several years supporting people through drug and alcohol recovery, where she addressed trauma, depression, anger, and grief alongside substance use concerns.
How Jennifer works
That work shaped a strong focus on practical coping skills and relapse prevention. She applies lessons from those settings to other problems that show up in daily life. Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to break down problems into manageable pieces.
Sessions are conversational and client-directed, with emphasis on what a person wants to change and how to get there. She avoids judgment and encourages honest discussion about choices and setbacks. Her approach is straightforward: listen, clarify goals, try practical strategies, and adjust as needed.
She helps people build routines, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and find motivation to make different choices. Short-term skill building and longer-term planning are both options depending on needs. Throughout work with clients, Jennifer centers empathy and respect.
She believes people are the experts in their own lives and partners with them to discover strengths and next steps. This makes therapy into a collaborative process focused on real-life improvements.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing Work Online
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear steps such as tracking moods, testing beliefs, and practicing new routines to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. This approach is useful for addictions, building motivation, or deciding on next steps when someone feels stuck. Sessions involve reflective listening and gentle goal-setting to strengthen commitment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, strengths, and preferences. Together they try strategies, check progress, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper work and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and chat or text can support brief check-ins or ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum between meetings.
