About Jennifer
Jennifer Wiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Washington Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with nine years of experience. She has practiced across Washington, Oregon, and Utah and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting, and codependency. She speaks English and works with adults seeking practical help for these struggles.
Jennifer keeps sessions collaborative and direct. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and offers tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. In session she helps people name what is hardest, set small goals, and try concrete strategies between meetings.
Her background includes work in homes, schools, and community settings, and experience with child welfare cases. She also supervises other clinicians and supports therapists working toward licensure. This range of settings has shaped a practice grounded in real-world problems and straightforward planning.
When someone is stuck in people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s moods, she focuses on clarity and doable steps. Conversations often cover communication patterns, boundary-setting, and coping during life changes. Jennifer tracks progress and adjusts approaches as needs shift.
She encourages prospective clients to consider fit and to ask questions before committing. The first meetings tend to focus on what matters most now, then translate that into measurable next steps and short-term goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions that line up with those values. It helps when someone feels stuck, unsure what matters, or gets derailed by worry and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and repetitive thought habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and present-moment skills that reduce reactivity and improve noticing of emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. She will work with the client to choose methods that match current goals and preferences. Sessions are shaped together, with reviewed progress and adjustments when needed.
The therapist’s biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so clients can spend that time on other priorities. Licensed professionals can use these conversations to practice boundary-setting, communication skills, and coping techniques that translate into everyday life without promising a particular service.
