More about Jennifer
- 6 years' experience

- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor in Missouri in my first year of professional work and five years of training experience in a counseling setting. I am also a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and have worked in the employment field and in counseling with people who have intellectual/developmental disabilities. I help people with managing stress, anxiety, and depression, improving motivation, self-esteem, and relationships, also with career concerns, life changes, and other issues. I consider myself a realistic and eclectic therapist, using a variety of therapeutic methods, such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy. My ideal client is motivated, open-minded, ready to address difficult topics, prepared to take actions steps, and ready to create new habits.
I strive to learn what is most important in your life to help plan your goals for therapy while also being compassionately direct. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
