About Jennifer

Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening first, then choosing tools that fit each person’s situation and goals. Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR among other methods. She mixes practical skills with deeper exploration so clients can both cope better day to day and understand where their struggles come from.
Jenna commonly addresses issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and helps people experiment with new ways of relating to themselves and others.
With five years of clinical experience in Iowa, Jenna offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, someone selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jenna often uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. That work focuses on building safer ways of relating and noticing how past hurts affect present connections.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and daily coping. EMDR is another tool she uses to process traumatic memories so they have less emotional charge and interrupt day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jenna treats the process as collaborative and will help you pick methods that match your needs, goals, and comfort level. You can expect to try different tools and check in about what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you meet face to face, phone can fit a commute or low bandwidth, chat provides a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to continue work consistently when schedules shift.
