More about Jennifer

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana and have been in the field for 11 years. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, depression, shame, and self-acceptance. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I do not take a one size fits all approach to therapy, and instead individualize treatment for the client and their needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes an incredible amount of courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.

I really like Jennifer. I would never get matched with someone locally the way that I have with her. We have a lot in common and I appreciate her down to earth energy. She understands grief and trauma plus she keeps it real and I totally dig that.
