Jennifer Shaw-Klymyshyn , LCSW

Jennifer Shaw-Klymyshyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience in behavioral health. Her work has concentrated on supporting people living with mood disorders, anxiety, thought disorders, and personality disorders, bringing clinical knowledge and practical guidance to each case.

She practices from a strengths-based, person-centered framework and uses a dynamic, flexible approach to help people solve problems, process grief, manage stress, and navigate significant life changes. Her style emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person s pace and goals as they work toward meaningful change.

Jennifer values the steps people take when seeking therapy and looks forward to partnering with individuals ready to engage in that process. She is not currently seeing clients in the evenings; appointments are available in the mornings and early afternoons.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work, a practical method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is often used for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative style that helps people explore their own motivations for change and build confidence to take next steps. This approach can be useful for addressing ambivalence around habits, addiction, or major life transitions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access therapists from different locations. These options support continuity of care and allow licensed professionals to meet clients where they are while focusing on achievable goals and coping strategies.
