About Jennifer
Jennifer Schweinhard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 15 years of professional experience. She has worked in community mental health and private practice and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, and mood difficulties among her focus areas.
She earned a Master of Psychology in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University in 2005 and holds a Child Mental Health Specialist designation. Her background includes clinical supervision of provisional licensees, interns, and senior clinicians before transitioning to private practice.
In sessions she focuses on practical strategies. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then tries different ways of responding. She also works on communication problems, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. She uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when they help a person move forward. This mix supports work on addictions, grief, ADHD, and complex trauma symptoms.
Jennifer describes therapy as collaborative. She helps people set goals, track progress, and adjust plans when needed. For someone juggling parenting, work, or mood symptoms, she emphasizes concrete steps and skills to try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jennifer blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with client-centered listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current feelings and reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and working from a person’s own goals and values.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress is tracked over time.

They also allow a focus on practical exercises and homework that can be done between meetings to reinforce new skills.
