Jennifer King , LCSW

Jennifer King is an Oregon-based licensed therapist with 16 years of professional experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and is also a Registered Nurse (RN), a combination that informs her understanding of both mental health and the physical impacts of chronic pain and illness.

Jennifer works with people seeking stronger self-esteem, renewed motivation, and clearer direction during midlife changes or periods of isolation. Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies for everyday challenges as well as compassionate attention to deeper losses and the unique demands of chronic health conditions. She approaches each person as a whole, recognizing how biological, emotional, and social factors interact to shape well-being.

Rather than relying on a single method, Jennifer draws from an eclectic, evidence-based toolkit to tailor care to each individual. Her style is kind and authentic while remaining direct and goal-oriented, offering support that encourages growth without excessive affirmation. She invites clients to explore their inner experience and take steps toward meaningful change, partnering with them to build resilience and clarity over time.

Evidence-Based Care and Flexible Online Access

Jennifer King uses an integrative, evidence-based approach that blends techniques proven to reduce stress and anxiety with practical strategies for coping with depression and life transitions. This approach focuses on skills such as emotion regulation, problem solving, and activity planning to help people regain balance and increase functioning.

She also employs an eclectic, person-centered toolkit that adapts to each individual’s needs, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods to address the effects of chronic pain, illness, and grief. Her therapeutic stance is supportive yet direct - offering compassionate listening alongside clear guidance and collaborative goal-setting to promote lasting change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jennifer works with clients to identify which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Therapy is presented as a partnership in which therapist and client experiment and adjust methods together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to continue work from home or elsewhere. These options increase accessibility and flexibility while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent, focused support over time.
