Jennifer Buer, LMFT - Therapist in California

About Jennifer

Jennifer Buer is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 10 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Jennifer takes a calm, straightforward approach to help parents and caregivers looking for practical support.

She values clear communication and a down-to-earth style that makes it easier to talk about hard things. In sessions she creates an open space where people can say what they really think and feel.

Background and approach

She listens without judgment and works with each person to set goals that feel manageable. Treatment mixes practical skills with reflection so clients can try new ways of thinking and acting between sessions. Jennifer uses several evidence-based methods to match the work to each family’s needs.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and move forward despite difficult emotions. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented.

Parents will find concrete tools for stress and communication, plus support making changes that fit daily life. The tone in sessions stays warm and direct, aiming for steady progress rather than quick fixes. Jennifer works by appointment in California and conducts sessions in English.

For families considering online care, she offers multiple messaging and live options to fit busy schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors through concrete exercises and practice. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when strong emotions are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and try methods that match the family's needs. This is a collaborative process, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These formats make it easier to keep appointments around school and work. They also allow short check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions so parents can practice new skills in daily life.

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.
