About Jennifer
Jennifer Christensen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and relationship struggles. She focuses on trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Jennifer writes simply and listens closely to what matters to each person.
Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with skills-based work. She uses DBT-style skills, mindfulness, and elements of EMDR when appropriate to address painful memories and intense feelings.
Background and approach
Jennifer aims to give tools that people can use between sessions as well as space to process emotions during sessions. Jennifer holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, in Utah. She brings five years of clinical experience plus prior community social work that involved education and outreach.
That background informs a down-to-earth style and an emphasis on practical problem solving. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. People can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and short exercises.
The pace and focus are set together so work feels relevant to current goals. Jennifer often helps with attachment concerns, codependency, family-of-origin issues, and communication problems.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. Online EFT sessions focus on creating moments to identify feelings and try different ways of responding, which can help with relationship and attachment concerns.Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - provides concrete skills for managing intense emotion and reducing self-harm urges. In virtual sessions, DBT skills like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindful breathing are taught, practiced, and adapted to everyday situations.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. In remote sessions, elements of EMDR can be introduced with careful pacing to help people process past events while tracking their reactions and safety needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and real-time exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging is handy for brief updates or skill practice between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between meetings.
