About Jennifer

Jennifer Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 31 years of experience. She offers straightforward, compassionate help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, or big life changes. She listens without judgment and encourages honest, authentic conversation about what’s not working in life or relationships.

Jennifer’s work often centers on relationship and intimacy concerns. She supports people dealing with sexual issues, communication problems, infidelity, commitment worries, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.

Background and approach

She also helps with attachment and abandonment concerns that affect how people connect with others. Her approach blends several therapies to match each person’s needs. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based ideas are common elements in her sessions.

She also draws on client-centered, mindfulness, and psychodynamic perspectives when they fit the situation. Sessions focus on building emotional awareness, improving communication, and addressing patterns that keep problems repeating. Jennifer aims to create a space where vulnerability is allowed and steady support is offered as people try new ways of relating.

She balances empathy with gentle challenge to help clients move forward. Outside clinical work she has taught at the college level and has worked across different regions of the United States. That background informs a flexible, experienced practice that adapts to a wide range of personal and relationship challenges.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment needs in relationships. In sessions this often means naming feelings, tracking interaction patterns, and practicing new ways of connecting that reduce distance and conflict.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people recognize attachment patterns like fear of abandonment or excessive control and then practice different responses to feel more supported in close relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and supports self-directed growth rather than imposing goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process helps find what fits best for each situation.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for emotional work, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can work for quick check-ins or when writing helps process feelings. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and try different formats based on what works practically and emotionally.
