I started therapy with her during one of the hardest times of my life, but now that I am in much better surroundings I still meet with her regularly because she helps me understand myself more and more as time goes on and also helps me build much needed confidence in myself as I pursue my life goals.

More about Jennifer
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC, LPCC
I am a licensed professional counselor with a master's degree in clinical mental health with experience in working with a multitude of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting, and couples counseling. I also have extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) which has been a useful tool in helping others not only cope with current concerns, but assist them in coping with future endeavors.
I believe in creating a strong, trusting, therapeutic environment where people feel comfortable, motivated, and not judged. I use solution-focused techniques to assist in reaching goals and CBT techniques to help with concerns such as negative thought patterns. Every person is different and you will have your own individualized therapy and plan that tailors to your needs.
I really enjoy helping others explore their own strengths and I understand that sometimes it can be hard to put things into perspective. Sometimes that outside and non-judgmental assistance is what someone needs to get back on track or on a better track. You can do it!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s amazing !
She is great
Jennifer has been such a positive force in my life since I began seeing her. She quickly helped me manage my most crucial stressors with helpful action items and coping skills before we started to tackle the deeper underlying issues. She's been so supportive and uplifting while still being straightforward and frank when needed.
I absolutely love Jennifer and her approach to talking to me and how she holds me accountable. Complete confidence in her ability to understand my situation and emotions and help me understand myself.
She is very nice and bubbly. Super easy to talk to.
I think she is wonderful. Never condescending or judgemental, just listens to my feelings and tries to offer tools to help me process. She’s helped me tremendously
Jennifer is amazing as always. I’m so grateful to have finally found a therapist that is the best fit for my needs.
She’s awesome
She’s the best
Working with Jennifer has been invaluable to the quality of life I live. And I’m grateful I made a decision to seek her help.
Jennifer is compassionate, understanding, and a wonderful listener. She helped me gain back my concentration and self-confidence. She is very professional, yet having a meeting with her makes me feel very comfortable as if I am talking to a wise friend. I really appreciate what she has done for me and highly recommend her to everyone.
I misclicked pls dont take that first answer serious Jennifer is great
she’s absolutely amazing, she’s helped me come so far in my journey and continues to help me through all of my ups and downs
She’s great!
Good energy and picks up on behaviors well to help identify and reframe them. She’s relatable and I am glad to be working with her.
She is knowledgeable.. understanding.. very helpful
Jennifer is excellent. She explains the psychological reasoning behind her advice/thoughts and knows what questions to ask in order to explain a feeling or situation. I look forward to my sessions with her and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Jen is always positive every single session and supports any issues I have and immediately addresses them. We always work through things in a productive manner and I feel significantly better after our sessions
She's great.
Jennifer has helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life for the last two years. She is truly a skilled professional. I especially appreciate that instead of telling me how to handle a situation that is difficult for me she instead asks the right questions and gives me the right tools to find the solutions for myself. She has helped me become a more emotionally resilient person which is such an invaluable gift.
Jennifer helped me out of a dark place i truly appreciates how she is guiding me through the rough days
Jennifer has been able to give me really great advice about how to better my life and my emotions. She gives resourceful information that you can rely on and trust. She is really great at answering all my questions and giving me tactics to help with my challenges.
She’s amazing!!!
Jennifer is a very easy person to talk to and is extremely supportive. Her expertise has really helped change my life already in the short time we have been working together. Her positivity is enlightening and what I look forward to every week.
She’s really great. I’m glad to have as a therapist
Jennifer is a wonderful and knowledgeable therapist. I’ve grown a lot during my time with her and have more days where I feel like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. I wish I had met her decades ago.
I've been working on myself with Jennifer's help for a year now. It's my first go-around with the therapy/counseling thing, and I can't express enough how supportive she's been throughout the experience. She helps tune in to what's on my mind or troubling me, and she helps me figure out what to do about it. It's a work in progress on my end, but I would absolutely recommend this woman to anyone who just needs some support, or an open ear with a mountain of suggestions behind her to help make your day a little better.
I started working with Dr. Maggar last November, and I am so incredibly grateful for this app pairing me with her. She has helped me through some really icky situations over the past year, and I feel like I’m building a healthy foundation of coping skills and boundaries. 10/10 would recommend Jennifer to anyone.
Jennifer has not only helped me work through trauma that has affected my day to day life and demeanor for years, but has given me the tools to feel confident moving forward myself. My struggle with intrusive thoughts stemming from trauma had taken over my life, but I feel like I have returned to myself and can successfully cope with the thoughts when they do come my way. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a personable, professional, and knowledgeable counselor who will really listen to your concerns and help give you the power to take your life back.
I have only had one session but I feel at ease
Since starting counseling in November, I have had an extremely good experience with Jennifer Maggar. She is a kind, compassionate, and caring individual who listens without judgement and provides plenty of tools to help cope with everyday struggles. I would highly and happily recommend her to my friends and family.
Jen has extremely high emotional intelligence and is able to help me see what is really going on in my life. She has given me so many tools to help me cope with everything from traumatic situations to just improving day to day conversations and interactions. I would highly recommend her.
Jennifer is amazing! I’ve been in her care for some time now and see growth in myself. She’s very knowledgeable and patient.
Oh goodness! If there were words for how much Jennifer has really seen me, gotten to the root of me with such compassion, empathy, and understanding, and genuinely helped me in ways I’m already starting to notice in my life, I would say them here. But I’m not sure there are words that can adequately capture or express what she has done for me. Yet, I will leave more anyway. She is a such a caring and compassionate soul with a true gift for helping people - you would be lucky to have her come into your life.
Jennifer is a great counselor. She has helped me get through some difficult situations and has given me skills to deal with anxiety and depression and situations in my life.
Jennifer has been a wonderful help to me. I was sexually harassed and I had a hard time coping. She has helped me develop a positive way of thinking and I also know how to control my emotions much better. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.
Jen is really a perfect therapist for me. She’s kind, understanding and great at listening. She also keeps me focused on my goals and offers a variety of ways for healing. I appreciate that she also likes holistic approaches such as yoga, meditation and breathing exercises. While Jen is very knowledgeable and professional, it feels like I’m talking to an old friend. I would recommend everyone to Jen. In fact, all of my friends know about her already. :)
She is amazing
I give Jennifer a 10/10. She’s kind, helpful, and extremely insightful. I’m not the most social person, but I always feel very comfortable talking to Jennifer, even on the video calls. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
So far Jennifer has been so good to me and I wouldn’t want anybody else! I feel very comfortable with her and I continue to look forward to every session!
She's been very helpful and provides good feedback for my problems
I’ve been with Jennifer about two weeks now and so far she is doing a great job with everything I ask. She listens and responds in a timely manner and seems to have the answer to every question I have. So yea I would recommend Jennifer to my friends and associates.
She always listens and is available. I feel very comfortable with her and so much more comfortable than I thought with video visits. She checks on my in between visits and is available by chat. Couldn’t be better!
She has been more than helpful, very consistent in messaging, and gives me many different options as to help me through my issues!
Jennifer has been great at helping me find coping mechanisms.
I have worked with Jennifer just a short while but in that short time she has already given me tools to help me manage my anxiety and emotions. She is also very welcoming and easy to talk to. I really appreciate that she knows how to make me feel comfortable with talking with her.
Jennifer is kind and makes me feel heard. Her strategies are clear and very action-based - I feel like she is guiding me through making progress in reducing my symptoms very quickly!
Jennifer helped me so much!!! I went to her because I was dealing with severe anxiety and insecurities. What I loved most about her is that she gave me actual tools that I could use on my own to help me overcome my anxiety. Jennifers tools and counseling work, but it was up to me to do the actual work and really take the time to practice them. She is so sweet, and has a really beautiful heart that could make anybody feel totally comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend!!
I really love working with Jennifer! She makes me feel really comfortable, does a great job of encouraging me, and she also gives me new tools and ideas to improve my mental health symptoms. She's pushed me to take more responsibility yet also be kind and compassionate toward myself on my journey. :)
Jennifer is such a wonderful person to work with. She understands the challenges I’m going through and provides the tools to overcome these. Even in just a few weeks I’ve had such noticeable improvement. I highly recommend working with her!
Jennifer is very helpful and reliable. I have already gotten a great deal of resources to help me with processing trauma and help my anxiety. She listens well and respond in a timely manner. She is pleasant and calming during live sessions.
Jennifer has been amazing so far. She listens well and gives great ideas and suggestions to cope based on my current situation. This counseling has been extremely helpful thus far and I have a better understanding of what I am dealing with since working with her.
Thank you Jennifer!
Jennifer is very knowledgeable and even though I’ve only been seeing her a short time I feel I have progressed.
