About Jennifer
Jennifer Branin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and ADHD. Jennifer listens closely and aims to help people take practical steps toward feeling better.
She uses a compassionate, non-judgmental style and values plain talk. Sessions often begin with hearing a person’s story and clarifying what they want to change. She offers feedback, helps spot unhelpful thinking, and suggests small habits that add up.
Background and approach
Jennifer combines several evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness to reduce reactivity, or using structured techniques to shift persistent negative thoughts. She also draws on approaches to work through traumatic memories when needed.
Her experience includes work with people affected by substance use, first responder challenges, grief, domestic violence, and complex mood or personality concerns. That background shapes how she balances safety, symptom relief, and longer-term growth. Jennifer describes therapy as a collaborative effort.
She will ask what progress looks like to you and set small, measurable steps. Many people leave sessions with concrete tasks to practice during the week. To begin, she encourages a clear conversation about goals and preferences so the plan fits daily life.
The focus is on practical changes that reduce pain and increase a sense of control.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include goal setting, skill practice, and short weekly assignments to build new habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. In remote sessions this often looks like practicing grounding and emotion-regulation tools together, and breaking skills into concrete steps that can be used between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the plan fits your needs and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues and more in-depth skill coaching help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skills coaching, or when someone prefers shorter, written interactions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain progress between sessions.
