About Jennifer
Jennifer Dunn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. She has five years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the everyday pressures of family and parenting life. She brings a respectful and compassionate manner to each conversation and aims to create a steady, practical space for change.
Her work focuses on real concerns like relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports people facing self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood challenges, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
Sessions look at what’s happening now and what patterns from the past may be affecting current choices. Jennifer adapts the pace and style of therapy to each person. She listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals.
Her approach is practical - clients leave with things to try between sessions and ways to notice small progress. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, blended family adjustments, and caregiving stress. Other areas she works with include communication problems, codependency, infidelity, and fertility or adoption-related struggles.
Therapy with Jennifer is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages curiosity about feelings and actions, and she helps people build tools for coping with anger, grief, and relationship pain. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and humane.

Approaches that guide online work
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One approach centers on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and then trying small, testable steps to change them; this helps with anxiety, anger, and depression by giving concrete tools to use between sessions. Another approach emphasizes understanding how early attachment and family-of-origin experiences shape current relationships and reactions; this can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and caregiving stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will start by listening to your priorities, then suggest ways to proceed. Together you decide which methods feel most useful and adjust over time as needs and goals evolve.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets you work interactively and practice new skills in real time, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
