About Jennifer
Jennifer Stevens is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience in Missouri. She works with adolescents, adults, and couples on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, grief, parenting stress, and patterns like people-pleasing or codependency.
She asks about a person's history and recurring patterns. That helps identify how symptoms show up in daily life and what purpose they serve. From there she helps clients build practical skills to change behaviors that cause distress.
Her approach draws on mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered principles. Sessions include talking through problems, noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trying new responses between meetings. She also uses emotionally-focused techniques when relationship connection is a main concern.
Jennifer has worked across multiple settings with blended families, caregivers, and people facing major life transitions. She pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, and struggles around commitment and trust. She also supports people dealing with burnout and compassion fatigue.
Practical goals often include clearer boundaries, improved communication, reduced reactivity, and greater consistency in handling stress. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can discuss fit and goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking action even when discomfort is present, which can help with recurring patterns like people-pleasing. CBT targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete exercises to try between sessions.She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaboration. Together the therapist and client review which approach fits the problem, goals, and personal preferences. That decision is revisited as work continues so methods can shift if needed.

Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice new skills in real-world settings and then bring observations back to sessions for review.
