Jennifer Rochel, LCSW, LICSW

Jennifer Rochel is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience, licensed as an AR LCSW and a DC LICSW. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting, career questions, self-esteem, and issues tied to adoption, caregiving, and military-related stress.

Rochel uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She works with clients using cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address thinking patterns and emotional reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify values and take steps toward them despite difficult feelings.

Her background includes work in child protection, schools, and private practice. That experience shaped her approach to family of origin issues, domestic violence, and children involved with foster care and adoption. She has spent many years helping people with mood disorders and trauma-related concerns.

In conversation she follows a client-centered style. That means she listens closely and adjusts the plan as goals become clearer. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set concrete, short-term steps toward everyday problems.

Rochel is mindful of cultural and lifestyle differences. She pays attention to how identity and background affect coping and choices. People who want clear techniques, practical goals, and attention to cultural context may find this approach useful.
