Hello, My name is Jennifer and I received my master's degree from The Ohio State University and my undergraduate degree from West Virginia University. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker- Clinical Practitioner (LISW-CP) who believes that to have a successful outcome in therapy, the client and therapist must first build a strong rapport. Once that foundation is laid, I will use one of several therapeutic modalities, depending on the issue at hand. These modalities may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychotherapy. An Integrated approach can be utilized as well.
I have been a social worker for more than 12 years and have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. I have worked in various settings ranging from family and adolescents to hospice. I am known for being honest and direct, a good listener, caring, sensitive, and energetic. I approach issues from all perspectives to find the pros and cons.
I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable. I find it helpful to participate in video sessions so that we can get to know each other better. But I am also available to you via phone and text if that is more comfortable for you. A majority of my availability is in the evenings and on the weekends but I check messages at least once during each weekday.
I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with and I am looking forward to supporting you through this stage of your life.
