About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer Todd welcomes people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, career strain, or the fallout of major life changes. She introduces herself as a Licensed Professional Counselor with many years of experience. Her tone is practical and supportive, and she encourages small steps toward clearer goals.

She helps people name what is hardest right now and build everyday habits that make life easier. Sessions often focus on motivation, confidence, and coping skills. Dr. Todd also supports people facing compassion fatigue, grief, addiction challenges, sleep or eating difficulties, and intimacy‑related concerns.

Her approach centers on listening first and following the person's pace. She draws on client‑centered methods that prioritize the person's experience, and uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address unhelpful thinking and reduce distress. Emotionally focused ideas help when relationship and attachment issues are part of the story.

Dr. Todd brings two decades plus of professional work in counseling and coaching. She describes clients as the experts on their own lives and treats each session as a chance to build realistic steps forward. Practical tools and clear conversation are typical features of her work.

People interested in working with her should expect straightforward talk, goal setting, and skills practice between sessions when useful. She sees strengths everyone brings, and she helps turn those strengths into steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client‑centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's lead to set goals and next steps. This helps when someone wants a respectful, paced conversation about decisions, confidence, or coping with life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating problems, and managing stress with clear exercises and homework.

Emotionally focused ideas pay attention to how feelings and attachment needs show up in relationships and in personal patterns. This approach can help when someone notices repeated hurt, abandonment worries, or codependency patterns and wants to understand and change those cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Todd will help figure out which methods fit the person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts as progress is made. The process is collaborative rather than one‑size‑fits‑all.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules, reducing travel time, and making it easier to check in between obligations. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make consistent work more achievable while keeping focus on real‑world steps and skills.
