About Jennifer
Jennifer Gleizer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, and major life changes. Her focus also includes codependency, caregiver stress, commitment concerns, and issues tied to family of origin.
Jennifer keeps sessions straightforward. She uses talk and practical steps to help people notice unhelpful patterns. She pays attention to how relationships and past hurts shape current choices. Sessions often look at communication, boundaries, and coping skills for overwhelming emotions.
Her approach draws on several proven methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Narrative Therapy helps separate a person from a problem by retelling and reframing the story they live by. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete changes that can shift day-to-day life. Internal Family Systems looks at the different inner parts that influence feelings and choices.
People working with Jennifer can expect a mix of conversation and practical exercises. She helps set short-term goals and checks progress regularly. The work is collaborative and aims to create clearer thinking and steadier responses to stressors.
To begin, she asks people to describe current struggles and goals. That information shapes the first treatment steps and helps decide which approaches to use going forward.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety or addictive urges, offering practical tools to test new responses. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can reduce shame and open up different ways to act.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
