About Jennifer
Jennifer Christensen is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Utah with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Jennifer names codependency and attachment issues among the concerns she addresses.
She uses straightforward, solution-focused work to help people notice practical next steps. Sessions often include skill practice, short-term problem solving, and looking at patterns that keep someone stuck. Jennifer also draws on mindfulness techniques to help calm the body and attention during stressful moments.
For people who have experienced traumatic events, she incorporates approaches aimed at reducing the hold of painful memories and emotions. She uses methods that involve processing distressing experiences and teaching tools to manage intense feelings between sessions. This can help when past events keep showing up in day-to-day life.
Jennifer also brings experience from school social work and community roles. That background informs how she breaks down goals into manageable pieces and offers psychoeducation about common responses to stress and relationships. She describes therapy as collaborative problem solving rather than long lists of homework.
People who struggle with repeated people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or feeling defined by another person will find concrete skill-building in sessions. The work focuses on clearer communication, safer boundaries, and reducing shame so people can make choices that fit their lives better.
If someone wants to try a focused, practical approach to relationship patterns, mood, or trauma-related symptoms, Jennifer helps map small changes and track progress over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training in practical ways to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can help when strong emotions derail conversations or lead to people-pleasing behavior.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to look at interaction patterns and the emotional responses that keep relationship problems repeating. EFT-style work focuses on identifying what someone needs in the moment and practicing new ways of asking for it.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss how DBT skills, EFT concepts, or trauma-focused work might fit a client’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is tracked together.
The original profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family obligations are easier to manage. A clear plan for skills practice and brief between-session check-ins can be used to keep momentum when meeting remotely.
