About Jennifer

Jennifer Palacios is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and ADHD. She focuses on helping clients notice repeating patterns, improve communication, and feel more connected. Jennifer practices in New Jersey and brings five years of clinical experience to each session.

Her style is collaborative and gentle. She slows the pace to help clients make sense of painful moments.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build clarity and practical steps that fit daily life rather than lengthy theory talk. Jennifer draws on approaches rooted in family systems, the Gottman method, and narrative therapy. She uses these methods to map interaction patterns, strengthen communication, and reframe problematic stories people tell about themselves and their relationships.

Work often begins by identifying recurring cycles and where emotional harm has happened. From there she helps people practice new ways of speaking and connecting, and tests those changes between sessions. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs.

Approaches and online therapy that focus on relationships

Jennifer uses family systems ideas to trace how patterns move between people and create repeating cycles. This helps show where small changes can shift how interactions play out and reduce recurring conflict.

She also draws on the Gottman method, which emphasizes specific communication skills and practical exercises for partners. These techniques aim to lower reactivity and build clearer ways to talk about hard topics.

Narrative therapy is used to separate people from the problems they live with by reworking the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This can reduce shame and open up different choices for moving forward.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and what feels useful in day-to-day life. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new needs arise.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging offer brief, on-the-go ways to check in or practice skills between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to use the therapeutic tools learned in sessions.
