Jennifer Stephens

Jennifer Stephens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience. She centers sessions on mindfulness and practical steps to ease anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her approach is warm and straightforward, focused on helping people find clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

She commonly helps people working through addiction, mood disorders, and grief. Jennifer also addresses self-esteem, anger, intimacy concerns, and communication problems. She uses everyday language so people can apply what they learn between sessions.

Jennifer blends several therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are. She draws on mindfulness practice to build present-moment awareness. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking, and client-centered listening to shape goals that matter to the individual.

Over two decades she has supported clients facing trauma, family-of-origin issues, attachment and abandonment wounds, and co-occurring substance concerns. She also works with people navigating gender dysphoria, LGBT issues, cancer-related stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions focus on skills, insight, and realistic next steps.

Her style emphasizes self-compassion, clearer communication, and choices that reflect personal values. People who work with her can expect straightforward feedback, guided mindfulness practice, and concrete strategies to manage stress and improve relationships.

How Mindfulness and ACT Translate to Online Care

Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgment. It helps with anxiety, stress, and emotional reactivity by training simple attention and breathing practices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends acceptance with values-based action, helping people make choices that match what matters to them rather than getting stuck in avoidance.

Jennifer also uses client-centered listening to shape goals around each person’s priorities. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She will work together with the client to try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the approach based on needs and preferences.

It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules require quick support and can make it easier to practice mindful exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to daily routines so therapeutic work fits into real life.
