Jennifer Kordell , LICSW

Jennifer Kordell offers a warm, direct, and patient therapeutic approach that begins by meeting each person where they are. She encourages those taking the step to seek support and focuses on practical guidance tailored to the individual's current needs and goals.

Her style is grounded in a client-centered philosophy - she treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths. Jennifer supports people through both gradual and significant changes, respecting the pace that feels right for each person and allowing space for limited sharing when needed.

As a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), Jennifer practices with clinical training that permits independent work in therapeutic settings. She has focused much of her work with older adults and with people coping with depression and anxiety, and she draws on a range of approaches to address concerns such as stress, grief, self-esteem, relationships, trauma, career issues, compassion fatigue, and body image. Jennifer communicates in English and is comfortable offering support by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, adapting the format to each person's preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions support them

Jennifer Kordell uses a client-centered approach that places the client's experience and goals at the forefront, encouraging collaboration and gradual progress at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques offer practical skills for regulating emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works together with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the approach remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and mobility needs. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum between sessions, supporting steady progress regardless of location.
