About Jennifer

Jennifer Radler Dobrin is a licensed counselor who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She is credentialed as an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and brings ten years of clinical experience. Jennifer works from Vermont and offers sessions in English.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with trauma-focused techniques. Jennifer focuses on clear skills you can use between sessions - for coping, communication, and self-care.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as addictions, intimacy-related struggles, compassion fatigue, and career or life changes. Clients meet a clinician who aims to listen first, then build practical strategies together. Sessions emphasize straightforward tools for reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

She also supports exploration of values and meaning when that feels important. Jennifer has worked with people facing chronic pain, caregiver stress, first responder challenges, and post-traumatic stress. Her work includes attention to LGBT concerns, women’s issues, intellectual disability, and ADHD-related struggles when relevant to the person’s goals.

Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Pricing varies with location and therapist availability and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate online

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT looks at patterns you can change and gives concrete exercises to practice between sessions.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. DBT offers short, usable skills for managing intense feelings and improving communication in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then test methods that fit. That collaboration helps decide whether CBT, DBT, trauma-focused work, or a mix is most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around caregiving, work, and other obligations and keep momentum between meetings with brief messages or live chat check-ins. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues regardless of location.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
