About Jennifer
Jennifer Fishman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an LCPC with 17 years of experience. She practices in Oregon and focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, career issues, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, bipolar disorder, depression, and coaching.
She began her career as an adult educator in colleges and business schools. That background shaped how she explains ideas and breaks skills into steps. Over the years she moved into counseling work in community settings and private practice, applying practical teaching skills to therapy.
Sessions are pragmatic and skills-focused. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered approaches, DBT, emotionally-focused work, and existential ideas. She explains methods simply and shows how to use them between sessions.
Clients can expect a clear focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Conversations include concrete exercises, short tools to try at home, and reflection on what did or did not help. The aim is to build practical ways to manage stress, mood, and relationship patterns.
Her style adapts to what each person needs in the moment while keeping sessions goal-oriented. New clients are guided through a short matching process and then asked to schedule a first session to begin setting goals and learning workable skills.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into smaller steps and gives concrete exercises to try between sessions, which can be easy to track online. She also uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client’s concerns and pace; this focuses conversations on what matters most to the person in front of her.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be used when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are the goals. DBT supplies short practices and worksheets that people can use during the week and report back on in sessions. These approaches tend to pair well with a structured, skills-based rhythm of sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about what feels useful, and together they will decide which techniques and exercises to prioritize. That collaborative decision guides what is practiced between meetings and how progress is measured.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and making it easier to try techniques in real-time between sessions.
