About Jennifer

Jennifer Such is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and challenges like ADHD and grief.

Background and approach

Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people find practical ways forward. She uses the Gottman Method alongside other approaches to address relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Jennifer blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on skills that can be used between meetings as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.

Her background includes work with adolescents and adults across settings where people faced mood disorders, trauma, and substance-related struggles. That experience shaped a practical approach that emphasizes small, achievable changes.

Jennifer listens first, then helps set clear goals and a step-by-step plan to reach them. She helps people talk through parenting stress, career strain, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue, and she addresses deeper issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, and chronic health impacts on mood.

Jennifer aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative process where the person’s values guide decisions. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

For someone juggling work or family, these flexible formats let people fit care into a busy life and keep momentum between visits.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Jennifer integrates the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques to guide online work. The Gottman-informed approach focuses on communication patterns and practical tools to improve interactions and reduce conflict. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, value-driven steps to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around each person’s experience and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and daily life. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support easier to fit into a lunch break or a hectic day. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and use therapeutic tools between meetings.
