About Jennifer

Jennifer Humphries is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns as part of a broader practice. She draws on two decades of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship challenges. Her tone in sessions is warm and straightforward so parents can talk about real problems with clear next steps.

In sessions she builds a collaborative relationship and listens first. Then she helps clients set practical goals and learn tools they can use at home.

Background and approach

Jennifer emphasizes skills that support communication, parenting, and coping with life changes so progress continues between appointments. Her work includes supporting people through grief, trauma, and difficult family transitions. She also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, blended families, and problems like infidelity or codependency.

Treatment plans are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed formula. Jennifer uses approaches that focus on the person and on solving immediate problems. She applies techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change patterns of thinking and behavior.

Motivational Interviewing helps when people are weighing change, and Solution-Focused Therapy keeps work goal-oriented and practical. Sessions are offered in English and she sees clients in Florida. Jennifer aims to give clear strategies and steady support so parents and caregivers feel more confident managing family life and relationships.

Approaches that fit family life and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship, helping parents and caregivers feel heard and understood. This approach supports people who need a nonjudgmental space to sort priorities and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. It is useful for handling stress, depression, and everyday parenting challenges.

The best approach often comes from trying methods together. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences in a collaborative way. That means plans can be adjusted as needs change.

Online therapy using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can make fitting sessions into a busy family schedule easier. These options let people connect from home, continue work between meetings, and keep momentum when life gets hectic. Flexibility in format helps parents access consistent support while juggling parenting and other responsibilities.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
