About Autumn

Autumn Jarvis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, career issues, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

She draws on a mix of practical therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions focus on clear goals, real-world skills, and making small changes that fit day-to-day life. Conversations tend to be direct and down-to-earth, aimed at identifying patterns that keep people stuck and finding workable alternatives.

Autumn's background includes a Bachelor of Science in Vocational Rehabilitation with concentrations in substance abuse, criminal justice, and psychiatric rehabilitation, and a Master of Social Work (MSW). Her experience spans community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric hospital care, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics. That mix informs a practical approach to complex problems.

In sessions she encourages people to name what matters most, notice behaviors that conflict with those values, and try small experiments to shift how they respond. She also works on specific skills - such as managing anxiety, setting limits, and coping with grief - using simple exercises and homework when helpful.

Outside of clinical work she spends time with her son and two dogs, runs and does CrossFit, and enjoys coffee, reading, and Green Bay Packers games. Her personal interests guide a straightforward, activity-focused style in therapy.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed actions toward those values while accepting uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, codependency patterns, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, testing them, and practicing new responses; this is helpful for anxiety, mood management, and relationship patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method for resolving mixed feelings about change and building motivation to try new behaviors.

Finding the right blend of techniques is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use based on the client's goals, what has or hasn't helped before, and practical needs. That collaborative choice can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know which options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. They also let people try exercises and homework between meetings, and make it simpler to continue care when life events or relocation occur. Licensed professionals will work with clients to find session rhythms that fit everyday life.
