About Jennifer
Jennifer Wiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) with nine years of practice in Washington, Oregon, and Utah. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career and workplace matters, and compassion fatigue.
Jennifer uses a straightforward, active approach in sessions. She names patterns that keep problems going and helps people test new responses. Sessions move from identifying what is happening now to setting small, doable goals for change.
Her background includes work in homes, communities, and schools, and experience with clients involved in the child welfare system. She also supervises a team of therapists and clinicians working toward licensure. That mix of direct practice and supervision informs how she plans treatment and tracks progress.
In the room she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies. She treats the client as the expert on their life and offers steps to try rather than one fixed plan. Progress is measured by clearer goals and gradual changes in daily habits.
Jennifer aims to make sessions practical. She helps people set realistic, manageable goals and adjusts methods as needed. The focus is on actions and thoughts that can be tried between meetings to see what helps most.
How specific approaches are used in online sessions
Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place, then test small changes to see what makes daily life easier. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build actions that matter, even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying an approach for a few sessions, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan based on results and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins between appointments. They also make it simpler to practice new skills in the settings where problems actually occur. A therapist will discuss the practical setup and scheduling during the first contact so sessions can align with the client’s routine and needs.
