About Jennifer
Jennifer Lawrence is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for busy parents and adults who need practical steps and steady support. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on the client's goals and strengths.
She grew up in rural Virginia and learned early on to help others. That background led her to roles in schools and a residential treatment facility where she worked with youth, adults, and families in academic, career, and mental health settings.
Background and approach
Those experiences shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Jennifer uses a client-centered foundation paired with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques. She helps people identify what matters to them, set small steps, and practice new habits that support their goals.
Sessions focus on clear, doable strategies rather than confusing jargon. Her training includes an undergraduate degree in psychology, a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration, and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. She also holds the CRC credential in rehabilitation counseling, which relates to work with chronic illness and disability.
Outside of work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and spending time with family and friends. Her online practice is meant to fit into busy lives and offer steady, goal-focused support.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Jennifer offers a client-centered approach that focuses on the person's own goals and values, helping them decide the path they want to follow and the steps to get there. This approach is useful for anyone who wants guidance that respects their priorities and strengths.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and managing ADHD-related routines.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel like a good fit. Adjustments can be made as work progresses so the plan stays helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other obligations.
