Jennifer Vandigo , LCSW

Jennifer Vandigo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who guides people toward greater self-awareness and strength. She helps clients cultivate skills to access their own answers and recognize their inherent value. With a background that includes a Master of Social Work - a graduate degree in social work earned at Arizona State University - she brings both professional training and lived experience to her therapeutic work.

Her clinical background spans diverse settings. She served as a Program Director at a residential treatment program for teens who had been in prison, providing individual, group, and family counseling. Earlier, she served in the Peace Corps in Jamaica where she worked as a Medical Social Worker and founded a Women’s Crisis Center addressing domestic violence, sexual assault, and abuse. More recently she completed a two-year program in advanced spiritual psychology, deepening the emotional and relational approaches she offers.

Jennifer has worked with people facing depression, anxiety and stress, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting concerns, grief, eating issues, ADHD, and many other life transitions. Her practice emphasizes a compassionate, supportive connection that helps clients feel heard and understood while they build practical coping skills and move toward a more peaceful, authentic life.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and Support

Jennifer integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening with empathy and helping clients discover their own strengths and values - it is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping strategies. EFT helps clients explore and reshape emotional responses within relationships, making it a strong choice for couples work, attachment concerns, and interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She tailors methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences so treatment feels relevant and effective for the client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access care from home, during busy schedules, or from different parts of the state. These options can help people maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt approaches to each client’s situation.
