About Jennifer
Jennifer Christensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem struggles. Sessions are aimed at helping clients take practical steps toward feeling more steady and capable.
Jennifer uses clear, goal-oriented methods. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name emotions that are hard to put into words. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, mindfulness practices, and EMDR-informed approaches when trauma memories are present. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques show up when a client wants help deciding next steps.
Her work often focuses on attachment patterns and how those patterns affect current relationships. She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, family of origin concerns, communication problems, codependency, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Body image, guilt and shame, loneliness, seasonal mood shifts, and recovery after sexual assault are also areas she addresses.
Sessions tend to combine emotion-focused reflection with concrete skills practice. That might mean naming a feeling, tracking how it shows up in the body, and trying a new way to respond in real life. Jennifer draws on her nonclinical background in community outreach and psychoeducation to help clients find practical resources outside sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name core feelings and patterns that keep repeating. In an online session this often means talking through moments that trigger strong emotions and practicing new ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving emotion regulation; online sessions can focus on skill coaching and short behavioral experiments. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) involves working through distressing memories; when used it is adapted to fit a talk or guided processing format and paired with grounding strategies.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That may mean starting with emotion-focused sessions, adding DBT skills, or using EMDR-informed techniques if trauma processing is needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting clients join from different locations when schedules demand it. Many people find that learning skills and practicing emotion-focused techniques translate well to remote sessions, while the therapist and client monitor what works and adjust as needed.
