About Jennifer
Jennifer Paradysz is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, parenting stress, relationship concerns, and related issues. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on building trust and making therapy feel understandable and useful.
Jennifer uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and how early experiences affect current bonds.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts and try new behaviors. She also brings mindfulness and EMDR-informed strategies for emotional regulation and trauma-related distress. Her work is collaborative and strengths-based.
Clients meet her where they are and set goals together. Sessions often include practical exercises, emotion regulation tools, and brief skills practice to support daily life changes. Jennifer has a long history working with complicated trauma and mood disorders, alongside concerns like ADHD, addiction, and chronic stress.
That background informs how she balances safety, symptom relief, and longer-term exploration of identity and relationships. She offers flexible scheduling to fit busy lives, including daytime, evening, and weekend times. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients.
Beginning therapy starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can be a place to notice those patterns, try new ways of interacting, and build more predictable emotional safety with the therapist's support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. In remote sessions this often means setting brief homework, practicing coping skills between appointments, and reviewing what helped or didn't.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, symptoms, and day-to-day routines to recommend a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and screen sharing for worksheets and exercises. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an alternative when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions or quick check-ins when scheduling is tight. These formats help therapy fit into work, caregiving, and packed schedules while allowing consistent follow-up on skills and goals.
