About Jennifer
Jennifer Christensen is a Utah-licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers straightforward, solution-focused support that aims to build practical skills and strengthen what already works in a person's life. Jennifer writes in a warm, direct way and invites people to bring their real struggles to therapy.
Jennifer holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential in Utah and brings five years of clinical experience alongside prior nonclinical work. That earlier work included community engagement, psychoeducation, and grant facilitation, giving her a broad view of the supports people need outside of therapy. She has worked with issues related to attachment, blended family concerns, body image, communication problems, codependency, and family of origin difficulties.
Her approach draws on multiple evidence-based methods and practical tools. Jennifer uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. She brings Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and connection. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness-based practices when trauma or distressing memories are part of the story.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Jennifer listens for strengths, helps people set small steps, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. She emphasizes clear, doable strategies rather than long theoretical explanations.
Jennifer works with children aged 8 and up, adolescents, and individuals who want help with motivation, self-harm concerns, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and related struggles. She provides services in English and practices in Utah.
How Jennifer Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Jennifer commonly draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. DBT focuses on teaching practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anxiety, self-harm urges, and relationship stress. EFT aims to identify and change interaction patterns that leave people feeling disconnected, which can be useful for improving attachment and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer listens to a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggests a mix of methods that fit. She adapts strategies over time and checks in to make sure the plan matches what a person needs and wants.
Session format details are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible around work or school. Licensed professionals can still teach skills, guide trauma processing, and support relationship work in remote appointments when the format is a good match for a person's needs.
