About Jennifer

Jennifer Fisher is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience. She practices with attention to each person's life story and current struggles. Jennifer aims to help people move from feeling stuck to finding purpose and balance.

She combines a focus on thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily habits. That means talking about how past experiences shape current behavior and learning small skills to change day-to-day reactions. She also highlights the link between mind, body, and spirit and how caring for each part supports healing.

Jennifer's work has spanned inpatient and outpatient settings and private practice. Over the years she has helped people facing depression, anxiety, grief, stress, communication problems, and recovery after abuse. She also supports parents and those navigating career transitions and compassion fatigue.

Adoption and foster care issues are among the topics she addresses alongside body image, chronic illness and pain, family of origin concerns, and feelings of isolation. She emphasizes inclusion and brings personal experience of living with a lifelong disability to her perspective.

Her approach is flexible and collaborative. She uses a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive techniques, emotional work, existential reflection, and mindfulness depending on what a person needs. Jennifer encourages honest conversation and practical steps aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jennifer uses client-centered therapy to create a space where people feel heard and accepted, focusing on the person's goals and experiences rather than imposing a fixed plan. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and build concrete skills to change behavior and mood. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve how someone connects with themselves and others.

Choosing the right approach is something she treats as a team effort. She will talk with each person about what matters to them, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust as goals and needs evolve. The aim is to find a combination that helps someone feel clearer and more able to act in daily life.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on practical skills or emotional processing. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work well over distance, helping therapy connect with everyday routines.
