About Jennifer

Jennifer Richmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns. She supports people facing major life changes and those who feel stuck but can’t name why. Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping clients feel heard and more grounded after sessions.

Jennifer brings eight years of direct clinical experience alongside a longer career in behavioral health. That broader background includes outpatient therapy, crisis counseling, healthcare leadership, and designing programs that supported children, families, and communities.

Background and approach

This range shapes how she sees the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. In sessions she blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with somatic awareness and attention to the mind-body connection. Some people focus on skill-building and practical strategies.

Others spend more time reflecting and processing painful events. The plan is adjusted to what feels most useful for each person. Her training working with children and families informs how she understands patterns that began early in life and still affect adulthood.

She uses that perspective to help clients build healthier ways of coping and relating now. Many clients notice clearer thinking and more emotional balance as therapy progresses. Jennifer practices in Connecticut and works primarily with young adults and adults.

She aims to create a supportive setting where people can explore grief, burnout, trauma, parenting stress, and life transitions. Starting therapy does not require having everything figured out; it only requires a willingness to try something different.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Jennifer blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with somatic awareness. Evidence-based techniques typically include focused strategies that teach coping skills and ways to manage symptoms. These approaches help with anxiety, mood concerns, and practical problem-solving by giving clear exercises and tools to use between sessions.

Somatic awareness means paying attention to body sensations and how stress shows up physically. This can help people who feel stuck by connecting physical signals to emotions and reactions, which often makes emotional change feel more manageable. Together these methods address thoughts, behaviors, and bodily experience rather than only one piece.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts plans over time so strategies fit how a person actually responds and what life demands at the moment.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use approaches that include between-session exercises and practical tools they can try in daily routines.
