Jennifer Grunewald , LPCC

Jennifer Grunewald is a Minnesota-based LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with a decade of professional experience in mental health and substance use disorder work. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction-related challenges, grief, and the transitions that come with life changes. Jennifer also brings experience supporting attention and concentration concerns and works with symptoms of depression while applying a working knowledge of DBT skills to help clients build practical coping strategies.

Her approach centers on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored openly. Jennifer emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, guiding clients to identify goals, develop skills, and take steps toward a more fulfilling life. She frames change as a courageous process and aims to support each person through the early steps and onward progress.

Jennifer’s background in both mental health and substance use work informs a practical, skill-focused practice that attends to the complexities of addiction, grief, and concentration difficulties alongside anxiety and stress. Her clinical perspective is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs and goals of the individual.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Jennifer uses DBT skills as part of her work, teaching practical strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help people manage intense emotions, reduce reactive behaviors, and improve communication in relationships.

Alongside DBT skills, Jennifer employs a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on building coping skills for stress, anxiety, grief, and addiction-related concerns. These approaches emphasize structured, practical tools that support concentration, daily functioning, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so the approach fits the client rather than the client fitting a single method.

Online therapy with Jennifer offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, and to continue care through major life changes while working with licensed professionals and therapists who support long-term progress.
