About Jennifer
Jennifer Buer is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, family conflict, and life changes. Jennifer writes in plain terms and focuses on practical ways to address everyday struggles.
Her sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to name. She listens and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems repeating. Jennifer uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to explore emotions behind relationship and attachment patterns, and draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking.
She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas about values and willingness to feel, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for coping skills when emotions feel intense. Jennifer keeps interventions straightforward, teaching skills and strategies a person can try between sessions.
Her approach is collaborative. She helps people set small, manageable goals and tracks progress over time. Sessions focus on clear steps, not jargon, so people can apply what they learn to daily life.
Jennifer works in California and conducts sessions in English. To start, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name the emotions that drive relationship and attachment patterns. Online sessions can support those conversations by giving time to reflect and track patterns between meetings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple experiments. In video or phone sessions this translates into concrete homework and short exercises to try during the week.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) looks at values and willingness to accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful action. That can help when life changes feel overwhelming and clients want to reconnect with what matters.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Practical benefits include being able to use therapy tools at home between sessions and to schedule sessions around work or family commitments.
