About Jennifer

Jennifer Gleizer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, family concerns, and coping with life changes. She offers calm, direct support and helps people take the first steps toward feeling more stable at home and in themselves. Conversations are respectful and practical, aimed at what matters most right now.

Jennifer uses short-term and long-term tools depending on the situation. She adapts the way she talks and plans treatment to match each person’s needs.

Background and approach

That can mean skill-building for managing anxiety, problem-solving around family conflicts, or working through patterns tied to addiction. Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. These methods help people change unhelpful thinking, rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves, set clear goals, and understand different parts of their inner experience.

Jennifer explains how each method can help and uses the parts that fit best. With 15 years of experience, she brings practical experience and steady guidance to sessions. She aims to make progress feel manageable and realistic rather than overwhelming.

Parents and adults reading about family and parenting concerns will find straightforward language and step-by-step plans here. Jennifer encourages anyone ready to try therapy to reach out and explore options. She supports people who want clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and better coping tools for daily life.

How her approaches work online

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns that fuel anxiety or stress. CBT focuses on practical skills and small behavior changes that make daily life easier.

Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach can reduce shame and open up new choices around parenting, family roles, or recovery from addiction.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is working and what feels most useful to the client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. That flexibility helps people fit sessions into busy family schedules, manage caregiving demands, or maintain continuity when life gets disruptive. Therapists can teach practical exercises, coach communication skills, and help plan next steps using these formats, making steady progress possible from a distance.

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.
