Jennifer Shaw-Klymyshyn

Jennifer Shaw-Klymyshyn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years in behavioral health. She works with people facing mood and anxiety concerns, grief, stress, and life changes. Her style is warm and practical, focused on helping people take next steps when they feel stuck.

Jennifer uses a strengths-based, person-centered approach. She combines practical strategies with conversations that help people make sense of their history and choices. That means talking through problems, building coping tools, and looking at patterns that keep coming up.

Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, thought disorders, and personality-related struggles. She also supports people dealing with addictions, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and aging or geriatric issues. Jennifer pays attention to how family history, relationship patterns, and work stress affect daily life.

In sessions she blends approaches to fit each person’s needs. That can include cognitive-behavioral techniques for change, motivational interviewing to build momentum, and narrative or psychodynamic ideas to understand recurring themes. She aims to help people move toward clearer choices and manageable goals.

Appointments are offered in the mornings and early afternoons rather than evenings. To begin, people follow the site’s intake steps to match and schedule with her.

How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jennifer often draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress because it focuses on clear steps and experiments you can practice between sessions.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their reasons for change. This approach is short-term and collaborative, helpful for substance use concerns, commitment issues, and building motivation when change feels hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor methods together. That means trying practical strategies when those fit, and stepping back to look at life patterns when understanding comes first.

The therapist’s biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and follow a regular morning or early-afternoon appointment rhythm. For some people, shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations work better when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter setup is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and conversational work to an online setting so the process stays focused and goal oriented.
