About Jennifer
Jennifer Fitkin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas and Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and life transitions. She trained at the University of Northern Iowa and brings long-term practice in community and residential settings.
Her background includes roles in residential treatment, foster care programs, juvenile justice settings, and correctional facilities. She has served as a clinician, clinical supervisor, and clinical director. That range informs practical strategies for coping, behavior change, and relationship repair.
In sessions she uses clear, action-oriented approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Attachment-Based Therapy. Expect work on thinking patterns, values-based goals, and concrete skills for managing emotions and urges. She also draws on solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and track progress.
Jennifer notes experience with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, communication and control problems, and process addictions. She emphasizes sleep, movement, and nutrition as everyday tools that support mental health and uses straightforward planning to add those habits back into daily life.
She offers therapy in English and works from an Iowa location while holding licensure in TX and CO. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines short exercises and values work to help people act in ways that matter to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where motivation and meaning feel unclear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. It is practical for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with impulsivity or addictive behaviors.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns with family and partners. It supports work on attachment issues, parenting challenges, and communication problems by noticing interaction patterns and practicing new ways of relating.
Jennifer will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. That means discussing goals, trying methods, and adjusting plans based on what helps in weekly work together.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten commute time, or allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be organized around work, family, and other commitments.
