About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer Outlaw helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what is making life harder.
Her style is warm and direct, and she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Dr. Outlaw has ten years of clinical experience and holds multiple social work and clinical credentials: Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW), LISW-CP, LCSW-C, and MD.
Background and approach
She has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and has provided care for people with severe and persistent mental illness as well as those facing shorter-term difficulties. That background informs a steady, evidence-aware approach to therapy. In sessions she blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance and mindfulness practices.
She also uses client-centered skills to make sure the conversation stays focused on each person’s values and goals. When trauma is part of the story, she can include trauma-informed methods to help reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Her practical focus means sessions often include goal-setting, skill practice, and problem solving.
She explains strategies in simple language and helps people figure out which tools fit their life. Progress is tracked in small steps so change feels manageable. Dr.
Outlaw offers care in English and sees people located in Georgia. She is comfortable working with international clients as well. People who want to try online formats can connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions toward those values. It uses acceptance of difficult thoughts alongside committed steps, which can reduce the time spent fighting emotions and increase purposeful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses short exercises and behavioral experiments to change how people feel and act. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the person sets the pace and topics for sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust techniques over time. That way the work stays practical and aligned with what the person wants to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful when face-to-face interaction helps build momentum. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep regular contact between meetings.
