About Jennifer
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Early sessions focus on listening, understanding current concerns, and setting simple goals. Jennifer works with each person to create a plan that fits their pace and priorities.
She uses approaches that emphasize the person in front of her. That includes client-centered work that follows the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also shape how she supports motivation and self-awareness.
With 15 years of experience, Jennifer blends clinical knowledge and real-life perspective. She describes how therapy once helped her find more direction, which informs how she supports others now. Her practice aims to help people build resilience and cope with major life changes, including midlife transitions.
Jennifer practices in Kentucky and offers services in English. She works with adults ages 18 to 99 and helps people address a wide range of concerns from relationship and parenting stress to chronic illness and body image. Her aim is steady progress and practical skills that fit everyday life.

How these approaches can work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s pace and priorities. It means sessions start with listening and empathy, and the therapist helps clients set goals that feel meaningful. This approach is useful for people coping with life transitions, grief, or low motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often uses clear steps and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day functioning, including distress tolerance and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust what’s used based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that combines your feedback with clinical methods to shape sessions.

Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, such as allowing shorter check-ins during a break, reducing travel time, or letting people join from another room without needing to commute. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools to an online setting so skills practice and homework fit into everyday routines.
