About Jennifer
Jennifer Gaumer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of practice in California. She brings calm and practical support to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting strains. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she aims to help clients take small, useful steps forward.
Jennifer has worked in a variety of settings, including a hospital-based child guidance clinic, a residential treatment center, and a community parenting program for teens in foster care. She also has experience as a forensic interviewer and has supported people who experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Connecticut and an undergraduate degree in psychology from Clark University.
Her sessions blend several therapy approaches that fit the person and the problem. She uses talk therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance-oriented ideas, and mindfulness practices to help with mood, panic, and everyday coping. Jennifer also draws on strategies from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
People meet her when they want hands-on tools and steady support. She helps with relationship and communication problems, attachment and family of origin issues, grief, addictions, ADHD, and women's issues among others. The work focuses on practical skills, clearer thinking, and learning ways to manage strong feelings.
Outside of therapy she enjoys gardening, home renovation projects, reading, and beach trips with her husband and two daughters. She aims to make the therapy space approachable and focused on real-life change.
