About Jennifer
Jennifer Cole is an LMSW with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing major life changes find a different path forward. She invites clients to take the first steps toward change at a pace that feels manageable.
She focuses on helping people heal from the past and manage what’s happening now. Jennifer often works with women navigating transitions such as breakups, divorce, or infertility. She also supports people coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and practical cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions aim to build insight about patterns, reduce distressing symptoms, and create clear, achievable steps for daily life. Jungian perspectives and emotionally-focused ideas may be used to explore deeper feelings and meaning when helpful.
Jennifer describes therapy as a shared process. She offers steady support while encouraging people to practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Work in sessions typically includes talking through recent stressors, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and trying small behavior changes between visits.
She sees grief, compassion fatigue, addictions, and career concerns as part of the whole picture rather than isolated problems. People seeking help with body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or attachment wounds can expect a straightforward, empathetic approach focused on practical steps and emotional understanding.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. In sessions this means looking at how connection and trust affect reactions, and practicing new ways of relating to others and oneself to reduce anxiety and isolation.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people make choices that fit their values and goals. This approach is useful for someone wanting a supportive, nonjudgmental space.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online work often includes identifying troubling thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes between sessions to see what helps in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjust methods as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue regular work while using therapeutic tools and support in between sessions.
