About Jennifer
Jennifer Picanso-Sutton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Oregon with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles. Her work also addresses abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, control issues, dependent personality patterns, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and family of origin difficulties.
She trained in social work and brings practical skills to sessions. Conversations focus on concrete problems and daily life. She uses straightforward techniques to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce symptoms that get in the way of functioning.
Her approach mixes several evidence-based practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Jennifer also draws on client-centered principles to make space for each person’s perspective. The Gottman Method informs work on relationship patterns and communication. Motivational Interviewing supports changes around addiction and ambivalence.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, practical tools, and skills you can use between meetings. People who want direct feedback and step-by-step strategies may find this a good fit. To begin, the site’s matching process and an initial session help decide next steps.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can help when stress, anxiety, or avoidance are limiting daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and addictive behaviors because it teaches specific strategies to change what you do and think.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques can be useful for someone struggling with strong reactions or chronic relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made or problems shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow a quick check-in during a lunch break, or let someone continue therapy during a relocation. Discuss scheduling and practical arrangements during the matching and first-session steps to pick what will work best.
