Background and approach

Jennie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - practicing in Wisconsin with seven years of therapy experience. Her approach centers on a collaborative relationship.

She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on building practical skills, naming strengths, and trying small changes that add up over time.

Jennie aims to make the work clear and usable rather than full of jargon. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and then tailors the work to those goals.

She supports people who want help managing strong emotions, recovering from hurt, or improving how they relate to others. Practical tools and thoughtful conversation are both part of the work.

Jennie emphasizes courage and gradual growth. She helps people find their own values and take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

The process is paced to match what each person can handle, with attention to boosting confidence and self-compassion. People can expect a warm, straightforward style that combines guidance and support.

Jennie offers a space to talk through challenges and to plan realistic next steps toward feeling better.

Accessible therapeutic approaches for online care

Jennie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional healing. One common approach emphasizes identifying patterns that keep problems going and then practicing different behaviors to break those patterns; this helps with anxiety, anger, and low mood. Another approach centers on processing painful experiences and building skills to manage strong emotions, which can be helpful after trauma or in times of intense stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
