About Jennifer
Jennifer Fishman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 17 years in mental health work. She brings a background in adult education to her counseling, so she often frames therapy as a place to learn about strengths and choices. Her approach is straightforward and practical for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.
Jennifer focuses on helping people notice resources they already have.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple skills and short exercises meant to be useful between meetings. She explains techniques clearly so clients can practice them on their own and use them when life gets hard. Her experience spans community agencies and independent practice.
That mix shaped a flexible style that adapts to different goals. Clients get a mix of conversation, problem-solving, and teaching depending on what they need that day. Narrative ideas show up in her work by helping people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when helpful for thoughts, emotions, or behavior. Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered elements guide supportive listening and deeper reflection. Jennifer often helps with relationship questions, parenting strain, addiction concerns, grief, and career stress.
She also supports people managing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression. Her aim is to help each person find new perspective and usable tools for daily life.

Approaches and Online Options for Care
Jennifer uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about their lives and to find alternative, more useful ways to describe problems. That often helps when someone feels stuck in a negative identity or repeating patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear when the focus is on managing intense emotions and improving coping strategies.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Techniques can be adjusted over time so people learn tools that actually work for their daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when clients prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy schedule.
