About Jennifer
Jennifer Christman is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for families and parents. She uses clear, steady guidance to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and depression. Her style is respectful and warm, aimed at helping families find manageable steps forward.
She works from Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. Jennifer combines client-centered conversation with skills-based tools. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, teaching ways to notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people calm the body and focus on the present moment. Her background includes seven years as a licensed therapist and many more years working with children, teens, and families in schools and community settings. That history shapes a practical approach that fits everyday family life.
Sessions aim to produce small, useful changes that add up over time. In a typical meeting she listens first, then helps set small goals. She tailors plans to each family’s needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.
Relaxation exercises, coping skills, and short behavioral experiments are used as needed. Taking a step toward change can feel hard. Jennifer aims to make the process understandable and manageable for busy parents.
She helps families find clearer routines, calmer responses, and more satisfying ways to cope. Licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), Pennsylvania license PA LCSW CW024810, practices with an emphasis on family and parenting concerns.
Therapeutic approaches and online options for families
Client-centered therapy means listening without judgment and shaping sessions around what matters most to each family member. The therapist focuses on building trust and supporting parents to find solutions that fit their daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and everyday stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.
Mindfulness practices involve simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce tension and improve focus. These techniques are often paired with skills work to help people calm down in the moment and respond more intentionally.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and how the family responds. That exploratory process helps tailor a plan that feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, reduce travel time, and let parents use tools and exercises in the moment. The variety of formats supports different communication styles and practical needs, making ongoing care more accessible for many families.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
