About Jennifer

Jennifer Laporte is a licensed clinical social worker who speaks English and Spanish. She offers a calm, respectful approach for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, and life changes. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people find clearer steps forward.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and encouragement during the first conversations. With 25 years of experience, Jennifer draws on practical methods to address everyday problems and deeper wounds.

Background and approach

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For those affected by traumatic events, she applies Trauma-Focused Therapy to reduce the hold of painful memories and reactions. In sessions she works collaboratively to build a plan that fits each person’s goals and pace.

Therapy focuses on concrete skills for managing stress, improving communication, and navigating transitions like divorce, caregiving, or career shifts. She also addresses issues such as attachment, codependency, blended family dynamics, and first responder stress. Jennifer holds a Florida LCSW and also has a Delaware LCSW.

She has supported people coping with depression, bipolar conditions, intimacy and relationship difficulties, anger, and low self-esteem. Her practice emphasizes steady support while teaching tools clients can use between sessions. Her approach is practical and adaptable.

Conversations are tailored to the person in front of her, and treatment plans adjust as needs change. The goal is to help people feel more capable of handling daily life and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jennifer commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a hands-on method that helps people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active, and then practice new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy - a way of working that gently addresses the effects of traumatic events, helping reduce distressing memories and reactions so daily life becomes more manageable.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer treats this as a collaborative process, listening to your goals and trying methods that match your needs and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and caregiving tasks. Remote formats also let people keep momentum between sessions with shorter check-ins or messages when needed.

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.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
