About Jennifer

Jennifer Gaeta is a California licensed clinical social worker with four decades of practice experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She emphasizes clients' strengths and treats the decision to seek help as a brave first step.

Her work starts by listening to each person’s story and meeting them where they are. Sessions are grounded in Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered care, so the conversation centers on the relationship between the therapist and client and what matters most to the person.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, body image concerns, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Additional focuses include forgiveness work, guilt and shame, life purpose, and hospice or end-of-life counseling.

These areas are woven into a tailored plan based on what the client brings to sessions. Jennifer aims for straightforward, respectful conversations. She works at a steady pace and helps people set small, realistic steps between sessions.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence that emphasizes their existing strengths. The goal is practical change and clearer self-understanding so people can manage stressors and move toward a more satisfying life.

Online support

Attachment and practical approaches in online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Sessions help people notice patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves, which can ease anxiety, loneliness, and grief. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening approach where the client’s perspective guides the work and decisions about goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Choices are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback about pace and focus.

The online format supports that flexible, collaborative work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good fit for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while still working through attachment patterns, coping tools, and everyday problems.
