About Jennifer

Jennifer Palacios is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in New Jersey who focuses on helping people address stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen communication, and clarify goals for connection and wellbeing. With five years of clinical experience, she integrates relational perspectives to support clients navigating conflict, disconnection, and life transitions.

Her work emphasizes slowing down to understand how past experiences and family dynamics shape present behavior, allowing clients to practice new ways of relating and managing emotions. Jennifer draws on evidence-based methods and a trauma-informed stance to address attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and related issues such as guilt, shame, infidelity, and control dynamics.

She aims to create an intentional pace so clients can build clearer, more stable relationships and pursue a greater sense of life purpose.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Relationship Work

Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relational patterns and trauma recovery. One approach emphasizes family systems thinking, which looks at how family roles and interaction patterns influence current relationship difficulties and helps clients shift those dynamics. Another notable method centers on narrative-informed ways of working, helping people reframe their stories and separate identity from painful experiences to reduce shame and increase agency. These approaches are useful for concerns such as attachment issues, communication problems, and relational trauma.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process and will be determined collaboratively. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, experiment with strategies, and refine what feels helpful so that interventions match the client's needs, preferences, and pace.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from home or other locations within the therapist's operating region. Licensed professionals aim to adapt interventions so they remain effective across these different communication modes.
