About Jennifer

Jennifer Richmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, parenting strains, and major life changes. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like something needs to shift. Her tone is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients feel heard and less alone.

Richmond brings eight years of direct clinical practice experience within a longer career in behavioral health. That experience includes outpatient therapy, crisis counseling, healthcare leadership, and designing programs that support children, families, and communities. She draws on this background to inform practical steps in sessions.

Her style is collaborative and adaptive. She blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with attention to body awareness and how the nervous system carries stress. Some people prefer concrete tools and strategies; others need time to process feelings. Sessions are shaped around what each person finds most helpful.

Jennifer has worked with adults navigating burnout, relationship challenges, life direction questions, and the emotional impact of trauma. She also brings knowledge from earlier work with children and family systems to help clients understand how past relationships still affect current behavior.

Clients often begin therapy simply wanting something to change. Richmond focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves, build coping skills, and leave sessions feeling clearer and more grounded. Her practice includes attention to caregiver stress, domestic violence recovery, hospice and end-of-life counseling concerns, and issues around self-worth and mood.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Jennifer integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques with somatic awareness to address emotional and physical reactions to stress and trauma. Evidence-based techniques focus on clear, research-backed methods to change unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and are often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and PTSD. Somatic awareness involves noticing bodily sensations and how the nervous system responds; this approach can help when anxiety or grief shows up as tightness, tension, or overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust what’s used based on how the client responds. Together they decide which tools and practices feel most useful and sustainable for everyday life.

The profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits the day. It can also let someone choose a session style that helps them focus more on conversation or on learning new coping skills without needing to rearrange other commitments.
