About Jennifer
Jennifer Howard is an Indiana licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate family conflict, and address the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports work on self-esteem, depression, and struggles around motivation and confidence.
Jennifer treats codependency and related patterns such as trouble saying no, caretaking fatigue, and attachment worries. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce. People often come for help with guilt, shame, isolation, and making sense of life purpose or a midlife shift.
Her approach combines practical therapy methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) help people notice what matters and act on it with more clarity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Sessions are built around clear goals and small, manageable steps. Jennifer works in a collaborative way, inviting people to name what matters and to try techniques between visits. She frames therapy as skill-building rather than mystery work.
Jennifer speaks English and practices in Indiana. She views clients as the experts on their lives and focuses on strengthening the skills and supports people already have. To begin, visitors follow the practice's intake steps and pick a first appointment time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jennifer often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and take small, value-driven actions despite difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT is useful when someone wants more direction about what matters in life and how to move toward it.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be helpful for reducing anxiety, lifting mood, and breaking cycles of avoidance or people-pleasing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That choice can shift as needs change, and she adapts plans based on what proves practical and useful.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the original profile does not list specific formats. Ask which session types are currently offered and how they fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Discuss practical options with the therapist when you complete the intake questionnaire so sessions match your everyday life.
