About Jennifer
Jennifer Lawrence is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She offers straightforward support for issues like depression, grief, sleep troubles, relationship concerns, and career questions. Her style is encouraging and practical, aimed at helping clients move toward goals they choose.
She grew up in rural Virginia and often played the role of helper in her community. That early experience shaped her interest in counseling.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in schools and a residential treatment center, where she supported youth and adults with academic, career, and mental health needs. Jennifer blends person-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and find motivation for the next step.
Sessions focus on clear goals, workable steps, and steady progress rather than jargon. Her training includes an undergraduate degree in psychology, a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration, and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. She also holds a Certification in Rehabilitation Counseling (CRC), which relates to helping people with chronic illnesses and disabilities.
Outside of work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and time with family and friends. She offers online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging and aims to make therapy fit into everyday life.

How her approaches work online
Jennifer blends person-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients set meaningful goals and take practical steps. Person-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities so sessions follow the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thinking patterns that contribute to worry, anger, or low mood and teaches manageable ways to test and change those patterns.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change. That approach helps people clarify why change matters to them and find internal reasons to move toward goals. Together these methods let the therapist and client decide what to try next and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide flexible ways to check in between appointments or when a brief exchange fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on practical change and steady support.
