About Jennifer

Jennifer Kirkpatrick is a licensed professional counselor (LPC, LPCC) who draws on seven years of clinical experience to support people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy with an emphasis on practical coping strategies and individualized plans that reflect each person's strengths and goals. Jennifer blends cognitive behavioral techniques with solution-focused work to help clients shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop actionable habits that improve daily functioning.

Her practice also addresses a wide array of related concerns including parenting challenges, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleep difficulties, anger, career transitions, bipolar and mood disorders, and process addictions. Jennifer aims to create a nonjudgmental, trusting environment where clients feel heard and motivated to change.

She combines elements of mindfulness and motivational interviewing to bolster engagement and resilience while tailoring sessions to fit each person’s needs and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together

Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood regulation. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting, empathetic space where clients' experiences guide the pace and focus of sessions. These methods support practical skill building while attending to each person's unique perspective.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most, so the plan evolves from client needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, or other commitments and allow therapists to use interactive tools and homework between meetings to reinforce progress.
