Jennifer Rhodes, LICSW
About me
I am a clinical social worker licensed in Alabama with 10 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem/worth, grief, relationship issues, and adjustment to numerous life events. I have also helped many people begin the most courageous healing process from trauma and abuse.
My therapy style is warm and compassionate and I firmly beleive that each person is worthy and deserving of peace in their lives. At different times in our lives, we all struggle with difficulty and I am honored and privileged every time a client, couple, or family allow me to join them on their journey. It is my hope to restore serenity into the lives of my clients. My approach varies based on client needs and often includes a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy with psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches. I often utilize mindfulness-based strategies and find techniques from dialectical behavior therapy useful for many clients as well.
It takes courage and strength to begin a journey towards a more peaceful, serene life and taking the first steps can seem overwhelming. If you are ready, I am here to support and empower you to live the most fulfilling life and hopefully find the healing you deserve.
I look forward to working with you!

Jennifer is the BEST therapist! She is thoughtful, kind, and deeply knowledgeable. She not only listens but also understands and provides real insights and strategies for growth, change, and success. She is an incredible person and has guided me on one of the most important phases of personal growth I've had in my life. She taught me that I have everything I need inside of me! I am so thankful.

I have had 2 video sessions with Jennifer and multiple back and forth messages. She has always responded in a timely manner. She had already walked me though some difficulty times and given me tools to help me process and cope through the week. She listens , she is honest and very supportive . Definitely recommend her as a therapist .
