About Jennifer

Jennifer A Fraser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. She brings 12 years of counseling experience to people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her style is warm and interactive, with an emphasis on practical steps that can be used between sessions.

She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses narrative therapy to help people rewrite personal stories that feel stuck.

Background and approach

Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals so progress can be seen quickly. Jennifer has worked in psychiatric settings and with both residential and outpatient clients. That background informs a pragmatic approach to coping skills, self-esteem work, and relationship and family concerns.

She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, postpartum depression, and end-of-life or hospice-related challenges. Her sessions can include discussions about faith when clients want that perspective, as she also serves as a licensed minister. The tone in sessions is accepting and encouraging, aimed at helping people notice strengths and build on them.

New clients complete a brief questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy emphasizes collaboration, tailored treatment plans, and step-by-step tools to help people manage emotions, repair relationships, and move toward goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and life challenges

Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that make stress or anxiety worse. CBT focuses on clear strategies and exercises that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.

Narrative therapy is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their families. This approach helps separate a person from a problem and opens space to try new, more helpful interpretations of difficult events.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are tailored and adjusted as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life and to use brief check-ins or messaging between longer appointments when helpful. Licensed professionals can guide therapy while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady movement toward client goals.

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.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
