More about Jennifer
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana and have been in the field for 11 years. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, depression, shame, and self-acceptance. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I do not take a one size fits all approach to therapy, and instead individualize treatment for the client and their needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes an incredible amount of courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jennifer is the bees knees. I appreciate her honesty and how she doesnt sugar coat anything yet shes also extremely gentle and caring. Shes a bright light and im so happy shes the one i matched with. First time too I must add!
Excellent connection and understanding. Response time and comfortability are very well strong points. Highly recommended professional.
I really like Jennifer. I would never get matched with someone locally the way that I have with her. We have a lot in common and I appreciate her down to earth energy. She understands grief and trauma plus she keeps it real and I totally dig that.
