About Jennifer

Jennifer Enders is a licensed therapist who uses a person-centered, collaborative approach to help people through hard seasons. She is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor and an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 23 years of experience. Jennifer aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk frankly about stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, and other concerns.

She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them test new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer self-understanding, and small changes that add up over time. Jennifer blends evidence-based tools with attention to each person’s story. Her training includes cognitive behavioral methods to challenge unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to manage intense emotions.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how past relationships shape current reactions, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. Jennifer has helped people dealing with compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, sleep and eating issues, career stress, and identity questions. She also works with topics like adoption and foster care, aging issues, chronic illness, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns.

Licensed in Arizona (AZ LPC LPC-13230) and Iowa (IA LMHC 132800), she offers sessions in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, using a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this looks like noticing how connection and trust affect your reactions and trying small changes to feel safer in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with clearer, more useful thinking. It is practical for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and parenting-related stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. She mixes approaches when needed and adjusts the plan as progress and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide extra flexibility. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into demanding schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access help without long commutes.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
