About Jennifer

Jennifer Hillberry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical support for common family and parenting concerns. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and parenting challenges. Jennifer explains things plainly and works side by side with clients to find useful coping strategies.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions aim to teach skills you can use between meetings. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to address symptoms and build everyday tools.

Background and approach

Jennifer has nine years of experience in mental health work. That time includes helping people cope with life changes, relationship troubles, communication problems, and family issues. She also has experience addressing trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic, and self-harm concerns.

In session she typically helps clients set clear goals, practice skills, and track progress. She works with issues like ADHD, social anxiety, self-esteem, forgiveness, and finding life purpose in concrete ways. Parents can expect help with parenting stress and family problem solving.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Jennifer is licensed in Georgia and holds the LPC credential with the following details: CO LPC LPC.0015172 and GA LPC LPC015036.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and parenting stress by teaching clear, step-by-step skills to feel and function better.

DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, blends skill training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for strong emotions, anger, and self-harm tendencies because it gives concrete tools to manage intense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions work for quick check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can fit days with tight schedules. These options make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to keep therapy consistent amid day-to-day demands.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

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.
