About Jennifer

Jennifer Schweinhard is a Washington-licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD. She combines practical strategies for managing ongoing challenges with collaborative planning to address situational problems and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in community mental health and independent practice, along with experience as a Child Mental Health Specialist and as a clinical supervisor for provisional licensees, interns, and senior clinicians. In sessions she emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental stance that centers client strengths while inviting exploration of hard emotions and difficult growth.

Jennifer draws on evidence-informed approaches to tailor interventions to each person’s needs, helping clients set goals and develop skills that fit their day-to-day lives. She views the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and works with clients to create a treatment plan grounded in their priorities and values.

Approaches that guide online care and collaboration

Jennifer frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely, validating each person’s experience, and creating a supportive space where clients decide goals and pace. This approach tends to help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating difficult emotions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior; CBT is practical for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and some symptoms related to ADHD.

Choosing the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to weigh goals, preferences, and the nature of current concerns, adapting methods over time so the plan fits changing needs and priorities rather than adhering rigidly to one model.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These options let clients maintain continuity of care from different locations and select formats that suit their communication style and daily routine, while still engaging in goal-focused, evidence-informed therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
