Jennifer Wells , LCSW

Jennifer Wells is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience in social work. She has spent much of her career in community mental health, supporting people facing a wide range of life challenges. Her practice emphasizes a whole-person perspective, drawing on solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients identify practical steps toward change.

She has received training in Trauma Focused CBT and has explored how neuroscience informs the development of new neural pathways to replace negative patterns with healthier responses. This combination of trauma-informed knowledge and skills-based interventions guides her work when addressing persistent patterns, emotional reactions, and relationship difficulties.

Jennifer helps individuals and families explore ways to manage difficult situations while building stronger communication skills, greater self-understanding, and increased acceptance. She approaches therapy with a focus on practical growth and collaborative problem solving, and she values the courage it takes to seek help. Jennifer looks forward to supporting people as they discover new pathways forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jennifer uses several evidence-based approaches that translate well to online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections - it helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or recurring relationship conflicts by exploring attachment needs and building healthier relational habits.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting each person at their own pace. This approach is useful for those seeking greater self-understanding, confidence, and direction during life transitions because it centers the client’s goals and experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to develop practical coping skills. CBT is goal-oriented and can be adapted to focus on specific challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. These options increase accessibility and allow licensed professionals to tailor support in ways that fit each person's life.
