About Jennifer

Jennifer Tripoli is a licensed professional counselor in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, trauma, and mood disorders. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and clear for people who are worried about starting therapy.

She views each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on lowering anxiety, improving self-esteem, and making practical choices that support daily life. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people feel more in control and less stuck. Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts, emotionally-focused work for relationship patterns, and mindfulness skills to steady attention.

She adapts these methods to the needs of the person or family in front of her rather than following a single script. Jennifer has worked with issues such as ADHD, postpartum depression, self-harm, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse, alongside common family challenges like blended family issues and divorce.

She combines practical strategies with supportive listening to help people move toward safer, healthier choices. Therapy with her typically focuses on clear goals and small, workable steps. Conversations may include skill practice, tracking of thoughts and feelings, and checking in on progress between sessions.

Her style is calm, direct, and hopeful.

How her approaches translate to online family and parenting work

Client-Centered Therapy starts with listening closely to the person and family. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps identify strengths that support change. This approach is useful when someone needs understanding and clear direction about their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes short exercises to practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions within family life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, looks at how people respond to each other in close relationships. It helps partners or family members notice patterns and create safer ways to connect and solve recurring problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in sessions, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Clients and parents are invited to set goals and decide which methods fit their values and schedules.

Online work supports the same kinds of therapy as in person while offering flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text messaging make short check-ins easier. These options can help busy parents and families fit therapy into real life and maintain progress between meetings.

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.
