About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer Outlaw brings a decade of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, addictions, ADHD, sleep problems, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She combines practical therapeutic tools with empathy to support clients navigating life transitions, coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress, and addressing issues such as self-esteem, anger, eating concerns, and codependency. Her practice draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR for trauma-related work.

Dr. Outlaw has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has provided long-term care for people with severe and persistent mental illness, bringing clinical judgment informed by that experience.

She holds clinical social work and counseling credentials and practices from Georgia, offering services in English and accepting international clients. Clients can expect an approach that emphasizes connection, practical strategies, and collaborative goal-setting.

Dr. Outlaw frames treatment around each person’s needs, aiming to build skills for managing symptoms while honoring individual values and strengths.

Evidence-Based Methods for Online Care and Flexibility

Dr. Outlaw commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take committed action while learning skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and problem-solving, often reducing symptoms of anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and responses to initial strategies together and adjust methods over time so that care fits the person’s needs and evolving priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit work, family, and geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to continue regular work on skills and coping strategies without travel, and they support follow-up between sessions. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of live and messaging options to each client’s situation to maximize accessibility and ongoing therapeutic progress.
