About Jennifer

Jennifer Gadberry, LPC, focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related concerns, mood issues, and family or parenting challenges.

Background and approach

With 23 years of clinical experience in Southeast Missouri, she has worked in crisis counseling, outpatient settings, and residential treatment for children and teens, and currently provides individual, couple, and family counseling in independent practice. Her background as an instructor of psychology also brings extra familiarity with young adult transitions and educational contexts.

Her style emphasizes a client-centered, humanistic stance that privileges each person’s strengths and capacity for growth. She integrates solution-focused planning and cognitive-behavioral techniques to address patterns of thought and behavior, and uses mindfulness, relaxation, and narrative activities when appropriate.

Jennifer aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients and therapist collaborate to set realistic goals and practical steps forward. Clients who value a strengths-based, faith-informed perspective may find her approach aligns with their needs.

She has supported people through depression, relationship conflict, grief, trauma, eating and body image issues, anger, bipolar concerns, and life changes, and can work with a broad range of family-of-origin and parenting topics.

Practical Approaches for Online Growth

Jennifer brings together client-centered care and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients make meaningful changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and identifying strengths so people can explore goals at their own pace; it is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thought and behavior, offering exercises and skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, ADHD-related challenges, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jennifer works with each person to understand their needs and priorities, then tailors a plan that may combine empathic listening, solution-focused goal-setting, and practical CBT tools. This collaborative process helps clients test strategies and adjust direction as progress unfolds.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling around work, family, or school commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed, so therapy can fit into everyday life rather than requiring major changes to routines.
