About Jennafer

Background and approach
Jennafer combines that stance with cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety or anger. She also uses mindfulness to help people notice what’s happening in the moment without judgment. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Jennafer helps people set small, doable goals and tries strategies together in session. She uses motivational interviewing to clarify a client’s reasons for change and solution-focused work to build immediate coping steps people can use right away. Jennafer has worked across a wide range of concerns including bipolar mood symptoms, self-esteem struggles, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and career stress.
She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, body image, chronic illness, and blended family tensions. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, with a straightforward approach and occasional humor. Jennafer speaks English and works with adults in Wisconsin seeking practical tools and steady support for emotional challenges.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Jennafer often blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness work when meeting online. Client-centered care means she listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, creating a space where people set the goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches clear steps to change them. Mindfulness practice teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations so people can respond rather than react.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennafer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and shorter reflections. These options help people fit counseling into busy schedules and different daily rhythms.
