About Jennifer
Jennifer Maguire is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 25 years of experience in counseling. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and relationship concerns among other issues. Jennifer also supports people facing codependency, parenting strain, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Her style is interactive and client-centered. She listens first and asks practical questions to clarify what matters most. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building concrete skills rather than long lectures about theory.
Jennifer draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide work in therapy. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that keep them stuck. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and managing intense reactions.
Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early losses matter. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy concepts help people decide what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. Jennifer mixes these methods in ways that address daily problems like people-pleasing, boundary struggles, and overwhelming worry.
Appointments are practical and goal-oriented. Sessions include skill practice, problem-solving, and short homework tasks when useful. Jennifer asks for a clear first session plan so people leave with one or two next steps they can try between meetings.
How sessions work
How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what they value and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing action that aligns with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to break negative cycles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage intense reactions.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, current struggles, and preferences. Plans can shift over time as needs change and skills grow.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by making scheduling easier and reducing travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid being on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, assign brief practice tasks, and use the same skill training online that they would in person.
