About Jennifer
Jennifer Brown is an LCSW with 24 years of clinical experience. She practices in Missouri and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, parenting, relationship strain, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and DBT-informed techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on practical steps - identifying thinking patterns, testing new behaviors, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Jennifer often starts by listening to what feels hardest right now and what the person hopes to change. She asks concrete questions about daily routines, triggers, and coping attempts. From there she suggests small experiments clients can try between sessions and reviews what worked and what did not.
Her background includes many years working with trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. She combines short-term solution-focused work with skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation or interpersonal stress needs attention. Motivational Interviewing can be part of planning change when motivation feels low.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and structured. Jennifer helps people set specific goals, track progress, and adjust plans as needed. People who want straightforward strategies for anxiety, depression, parenting strain, or work stress will find clear, technique-based steps in her approach.
How cognitive and skills-based approaches translate to online sessions
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test alternative thinking, and practice different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on brief, measurable steps for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and helping people clarify their own goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation or interpersonal stress are a core problem; these skills teach clear techniques for managing intense feelings and improving communication.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to emphasize and when to add skill-building or problem-solving work.
The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use handwriting, worksheets, or screen-shared tools during a session to practice CBT exercises and DBT skills work without changing the core methods.
