About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer Todd welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. She writes plainly and offers steady guidance for those dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, and major life changes.

Her approach aims to help people build motivation, regain confidence, and manage compassion fatigue so they can move forward with clearer purpose. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and brings 24 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical skills and honest conversation. She centers each meeting on the person in front of her and their priorities, rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Dr.

Todd blends methods that suit each individual. She uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports understanding and naming tough feelings. Mindfulness practices are added when slowing down and noticing patterns will help. Existential ideas come into play when clients are wrestling with meaning and life direction.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find the will to change and follow through. People can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How Dr. Todd’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the client lead the agenda while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. This is useful for people who need a steady, empathic space to sort things out.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. In online sessions CBT often includes setting simple goals, trying brief exercises between meetings, and tracking progress together. It suits stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and patterns that fuel low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps name and work with strong feelings. Over video or phone the therapist helps clients identify emotions and practice new ways of responding. This can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or confusing.

Finding the best mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may change as progress is made, and the plan is adjusted together.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. People can choose video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when screens are not practical, or live chat and text messaging for brief check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
