About Jennifer
Jennifer Christensen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with five years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses attachment concerns, blended family challenges, body image, codependency, communication problems, and issues related to shame and isolation.
Her background includes work in schools and community settings. That experience informs a practical, solution-focused approach. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills people can use day to day, and steps to reduce distress. Jennifer uses techniques from several evidence-informed methods to help clients notice patterns and change unhelpful habits.
Jennifer often uses emotion-focused work to help people understand and respond to painful feelings. She applies mindfulness practices to build calm and notice triggers. For trauma-related concerns she brings in approaches that address traumatic memories and the emotional reactions tied to them.
Her style is direct and practical. She aims to make therapy understandable and doable between sessions. Conversations may include short skill-building exercises, problem-solving, and focused exploration of relationship patterns.
Jennifer has worked in nonclinical social work roles including psychoeducation, community engagement, and grant facilitation. That background complements her clinical work by keeping attention on concrete changes in daily life. People who want straightforward, skills-oriented help with mood, anxiety, or relationship struggles often choose this approach.
BHow sessions work
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict. It is useful for people who need concrete tools to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with emotional responses in relationships to change interaction patterns and increase emotional understanding. It helps when relationship struggles are tied to unmet emotional needs. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distress tied to traumatic memories by using structured processing to reduce their intensity and the reactions they trigger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try based on current problems, goals, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time as needs change and progress becomes clearer.
The therapist's biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time for appointments. Some approaches lend themselves to exercise-based sessions or guided practice you can use between meetings. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and what practical setup will best support the work.
