About Jennifer

Jennifer Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah. She has over three decades of experience in social work and offers a calm, straightforward approach to difficult problems. She invites people to name what feels off and to talk honestly about relationships, identity, addiction, grief, or stress.

Jennifer aims to balance warmth with practical encouragement so clients can move toward more satisfying lives. Jennifer trained in social work and holds a Master of Social Work from Smith College and undergraduate degrees from the University of Utah.

Background and approach

She has taught at the college level and has worked across the United States, bringing that breadth of experience into her sessions. Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing complex emotional and relational problems. Her practice focuses on relationship and sexual wellness issues alongside common concerns like anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and anger.

She assists people with intimacy problems, communication breakdowns, commitment and control struggles, and concerns related to sexual function and sexuality. She also works with people around attachment wounds, abandonment, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Jennifer uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person.

Attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused work, psychodynamic thinking, client-centered listening, and mindfulness tools are common in her sessions. She aims to create a space where vulnerability is welcome and change is achievable through steady effort. Sessions can include concrete communication practice, exploration of past patterns that affect today, and short-term strategies to manage stress or cravings.

Jennifer encourages people to take the first step and to use therapy as a place to try different ways of being.

Online support

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Help Online

Jennifer commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape today's relationships. This approach helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance and work toward more supported ways of connecting. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which helps people identify and shift the feelings that drive conflict and shutdown in relationships.

These approaches are explained and chosen together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try a few techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Figuring out the best fit is treated as a collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows face-to-face work on attachment and emotion with visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a conversation fits a break during the day. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to schedule ongoing support around work and life.
