About Jenifer

Jenifer Regennitter is a licensed counselor who brings 25 years of experience to sessions. She holds a Master of Science in Education in Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Western Illinois University. Jenifer meets people where they are and offers a straightforward, compassionate approach to common struggles like anxiety, depression, and stress.

She has practiced across many care settings, including residential, inpatient, outpatient, and community mental health.

Background and approach

That variety shaped her ability to read what someone needs in the moment and to adapt her methods accordingly. She uses Client-Centered techniques to follow each person's lead and build trust. Narrative Therapy is part of her toolkit, helping people tell and reframe the stories they live by.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also a frequent part of sessions, with concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Solution-Focused ideas are used to find small, doable changes that move someone toward their goals. Jenifer also offers trauma-focused work and integrates creative options like art-centered activities when they fit.

She sometimes gives short practice tasks between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment. She is licensed in Illinois as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and in Iowa as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online session options

How Jenifer Uses Narrative and Practical Methods Online

Jenifer commonly blends Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and choose different, more helpful ways to describe their experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing specific changes to reduce distress and improve mood.

She treats the choice of approach as a team decision. Early sessions are used to understand a person's goals, strengths, and daily life. Together they pick methods that fit those needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist will suggest exercises and small steps to try between sessions and review how those went.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a speaker-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
