About Jennafer

Jennafer Matthews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience based in Wisconsin. She combines a person-centered stance with practical therapeutic tools to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma, relationship struggles, grief, and an array of life transitions.

Background and approach

Jennafer emphasizes collaboration, meeting clients where they are while helping them notice and use their existing strengths to manage stress and build skills for everyday challenges. Her style blends warmth and gentle curiosity with structured techniques when useful, drawing from cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused methods.

Jennafer also attends to attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and overlapping health or mood conditions. She aims to cultivate a respectful, nonjudgmental space so people can work at a pace that feels manageable and bring some moments of levity into a serious process.

Jennafer’s practice supports people across diverse concerns including parenting and intimacy-related issues, communication and control difficulties, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She communicates in English and offers services remotely through a variety of online session formats for clients in Wisconsin.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Jennafer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and experiment with concrete behavior changes; this approach can be useful for addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related coping strategies, and mood management. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support stress management, emotional regulation, and responses to trauma. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her work by keeping the client's goals, values, and lived experience central while the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jennafer treats it as a collaborative exploration. Together with each client she considers goals, preferences, and what feels most effective in early sessions, adjusting techniques over time so the work fits the person's needs and pace.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel barriers. These formats allow for consistent check-ins, timely skill practice between sessions, and easier access for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
