About Jennifer

Jennifer Cole is a Licensed Master Social Worker who has spent eight years helping people navigate hard turning points. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, and relationship challenges. Her approach is practical and steady, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward change.

She focuses on healing from the past and managing the present so clients can move toward a different future. Sessions often start with what feels most urgent - safety, coping, or immediate problem-solving - then shift toward understanding patterns and building skills.

Background and approach

Jennifer uses plain language and concrete strategies rather than jargon. Jennifer leans on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also draws from client-centered methods, which prioritize listening and following the client’s lead.

Cognitive behavioral tools are used to help reframe thoughts and try new behaviors between sessions. People who come to her for help with life transitions find support for issues like breakups, infertility-related loss, and career changes. She also works with those processing trauma, abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

The focus is on small, doable changes that add up over time. Sessions are held online, and Jennifer encourages people to start with a short appointment to see how the fit feels. She aims to create a calm, practical space where clients can practice new ways of coping and build toward the outcomes they want.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationships. Online sessions use conversation and reflective questions to identify patterns and practice different responses in real time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's priorities; the therapist creates space for the client to guide each session and choose what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; online work often includes short exercises and homework clients can do between sessions to build skills. Choosing the right approach is a shared decision. Jennifer will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit. That may mean mixing attachment ideas with CBT techniques or slowing down to follow the client’s pace. The process is collaborative and adjusts as goals change. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more conversational work, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching possible between longer appointments. These formats help therapy fit into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or days when a shorter connection is what’s needed.
