More about Jennifer

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I have lived in Nevada since 1996. I am aware of community resources. I am a licensed clinical social worker, licensed in the State of Nevada. I have a bachelor's and masters in social work. I then completed my clinical internship working with children diagnosed with (SED) Severe Emotional Disturbance and their families and supportive team.

I have counseled children ages 4-18 and their families, attending interdisciplinary and team care coordination meetings. Issues included but were not limited to depression, anxiety, grief and loss, foster care/adoption.

I have worked with clients facing imminent immigration and deportation issues. My undergraduate internship was in hospice and a local community resource center.

I have worked with the senior and disabled population, providing active listening and resources and connections to supportive services in their communities.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jen has been so wonderful, loving, understanding and supportive in our sessions thus far. She listens and cares. She is very helpful and gives homework that is helpful with the things that we talk about in sessions. She’s a wonderful human, I am very thankful for her

Reviewed November 2023

As a first-timer in therapy, getting matched with Jennifer worked out well. She is so sweet and understanding, especially with the time difference. She always listens, remembers things I have said, and takes the time to message me and check how things are going. Even when we weren't supposed to meet, connecting with her and feeling comfortable was easy.

Reviewed June 2023

Jennifer was my first therapist here and was super helpful, and patient, and easy to talk to! When I decided to try this 4 weeks ago, I was in a dark place, lost and confused, and needed some guidance to get me back on track to find my way through my grief. She helped me with many resources and advice on how to take things day by day and reminded me that there's nothing wrong with how I'm feeling. I'm very grateful for her time and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, sympathetic ear to talk to.

You've helped me through so many changes in my life. From divorce, navigating new and family relationships, to a brand new role in my career. I will forever be grateful!

It's still early, but Jennifer is as thoughtful and professional as I could expect.

Reviewed November 2022

I have had difficulty finding a therapist I clicked with. Jennifer immediately felt like a safe place even on our first call. I can’t recommend her enough. I always feel so much better after our sessions. She validates feelings like no one I have ever worked with and has never made me feel guilty even when I tell her things I am not very proud of. 10/10. Thank you so much Jennifer!
