About Jennifer
Jennifer Gadberry, LPC, helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or big life changes. She works with adults on issues like depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, eating concerns, and ADHD. Her style aims to make difficult problems feel more manageable so clients can take small, practical steps forward.
Gadberry brings 23 years of counseling experience in Missouri. Early in her career she worked as a crisis counselor and in residential treatment for children and teens.
Background and approach
She has also provided outpatient and in-home counseling and teaches psychology at the college level, which gives her insight into challenges faced by young adults. Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. She focuses on strengths and helps people notice what is already working for them.
Sessions may include goal-focused exercises, thought-and-behavior work, and brief solution-focused planning to address immediate concerns. Practical tools are a regular part of the work. Clients might practice cognitive-behavioral techniques, simple relaxation or mindfulness exercises, and narrative tasks that help reframe difficult experiences.
These tools are chosen to match each person’s needs and goals rather than forced into a single method. Gadberry draws on a Christian faith foundation in her work when clients want that perspective included. She emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space and works alongside people to set clear, achievable steps toward change.

Approaches that fit your life and schedule
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s own goals. It gives space for a person to describe what matters and for the therapist to help them notice strengths and options. This approach can help with low motivation, self-esteem, and the frustration that follows big life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. It uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and eating concerns.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on what works now and builds short-term, achievable steps. It’s useful when immediate relief and clearer next steps are the priority.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, values, and daily life. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed.
Online therapy offers options to fit busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, and other commitments.
