About Jennifer
Jennifer Lawrence is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps parents and families manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. She draws on years of hands-on experience to offer straightforward support.

Jennifer grew up in rural Virginia and began helping others early in life. She has worked with youth, adults, and families in schools and a residential treatment facility.
Background and approach
Her background includes academic, career, and mental health counseling across settings. She uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's goals front and center. Jennifer blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people make changes they actually want.
She emphasizes small, concrete steps and builds on what already works for each person. Jennifer completed an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration, and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. She also holds a Certification in Rehabilitation Counseling, which focuses on support for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities.
Her license is LPC and she has nine years of experience. Outside work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and time with family and friends. In sessions she focuses on practical strategies, encouragement, and helping clients identify the next right step for their lives.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jennifer commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the client set the direction for change; it suits parents and families who want a supportive space to sort priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people try small experiments to shift patterns; it is useful for anxiety, sleep issues, anger, and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She often combines approaches so sessions stay practical and targeted toward the next steps the client wants to take.
Online therapy is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These options make it easier to meet without travel and allow follow-up or brief check-ins between longer sessions. The different formats help people maintain momentum while juggling parenting, work, and daily life.
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.
