About Jennifer

Jennifer Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 26 years in the mental health field. She helps people manage grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. She also supports those facing addiction, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and the emotional strain of illness and end-of-life issues.

Her approach is practical and direct. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered work, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused strategies. Sessions focus on clear steps you can use between meetings and on developing skills to handle hard moments.

Jennifer's background includes work in community mental health, crisis response, care for people who are incarcerated, services at a homeless shelter, and work with veterans. That variety informs how she adapts therapy to different life situations and stressors.

She holds a doctorate in theology and a master’s degree in community mental health, alongside her LPC credential. Those degrees shape how she listens to values, meaning, and spiritual concerns when clients bring them into sessions.

In sessions she blends evidence-based techniques with straightforward conversation. The goal is to help people identify what matters, build coping skills, and take manageable steps forward. Practical tools, short-term goals, and thoughtful reflection are common parts of her work.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead in setting goals.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then she will suggest methods to try and adjust them over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and pace.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow conversations to happen from familiar surroundings. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Expect practical sessions that focus on skills, values, and problem solving so techniques learned in therapy can be used between meetings.
