About Jennifer

Jennifer Cole is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her work also addresses trauma, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and issues related to caregiving and chronic illness.

Jennifer helps people name difficult feelings and notice the patterns that keep them stuck. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to explore emotions and relationships. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most now and on practical steps forward.

Her approach is grounded in simple, clear conversation. She listens for past wounds that shape present reactions and helps people practice different responses. Sessions may include cognitive tools when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Jennifer often works with people facing life changes such as breakups, divorce, infertility, or loss of a child. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, caregiver stress, and identity questions within LGBT concerns. She describes the work as a steady process of noticing patterns and trying small changes that feel manageable.

People who prefer straightforward language and steady pacing may find her style a good fit. To begin, clients select the online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How Jennifer’s approaches translate to online work

Jennifer integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients name and track powerful emotions and attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current reactions. EFT helps people identify the emotion under a problem, and attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships that influence feeling and behavior.

She also draws on client-centered principles that keep the focus on the person’s experience and goals. That means deciding together which methods to use and adjusting the pace based on what the client finds most helpful. The therapist and client collaborate on which approach feels most useful as goals evolve.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time so therapy can be more consistent. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain momentum while working on emotions, attachment patterns, and everyday coping skills.
