About Jennifer

Jennifer Vandivort is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Missouri with credentials as an LMSW and an LCSW.

Background and approach

She brings three years of experience gained across residential programs, medical settings, and personal case management, working with people facing a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety and panic, substance use, trauma, grief, relationship and family challenges, and ADHD.

Her background includes supporting families through difficult dynamics, parents navigating behavioral or emotional diagnoses in children, and caregivers making medical decisions for aging relatives. Jennifer emphasizes a collaborative process that begins by tailoring a treatment plan to each person’s circumstances and goals.

She aims to create a supportive, compassionate environment where clients can explore stress, self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and other areas such as addiction recovery, compassion fatigue, and women's issues. Practical needs like communication problems, control issues, and finding meaning or life purpose are also addressed.

Jennifer welcomes the opportunity to work alongside clients as they pursue clearer coping strategies and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Techniques and Online Access

Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client's concerns. One common approach involves strategies that help identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related issues. Another approach focuses on practical coping skills and problem-solving to manage life changes, caregiver stress, and challenges such as addiction or compassion fatigue.

Selecting the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with the client to determine which methods align with personal goals, symptom patterns, and preferences. That process may include trying different techniques, reviewing what helps most, and adapting the plan over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual's needs.

Online therapy with her offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support therapeutic progress while tailoring sessions to each person's communication style and availability.
