About Autumn

Autumn Jarvis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma, depression, parenting challenges, intimacy or relationship concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks plainly and creates space for honest conversation so clients can name what feels hard and start to change.

Autumn holds both LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings 13 years of professional experience to her practice in Wisconsin. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods and focuses on what will help in day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping skills, and steps clients can use between meetings. Autumn aims to reduce overwhelm and build routines that support ongoing growth. Her background includes work in community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric settings, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics.

That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs and life circumstances. She draws on a foundation in social work and vocational rehabilitation to address both emotional concerns and practical challenges. In sessions she listens without judgment and encourages clients to identify values and make steady progress toward them.

The tone is supportive and direct, with an emphasis on small, manageable changes. Autumn offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Outside clinical work she spends time with her son and two dogs, enjoys coffee and reading, and keeps active with CrossFit and running.

She also follows the Green Bay Packers and likes simple comfort foods like pizza and cheese curds.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts and feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads and the therapist listens closely to understand what the client needs.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. Autumn will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find a style that fits the client’s personality and life situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or steady contact between sessions. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and other commitments while still using ACT, CBT, or client-centered practices effectively.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
