About Jennifer
Jennifer Fishman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Oregon and works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, career concerns, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, relationship and family concerns, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes.
She emphasizes clear, practical work in sessions. Jennifer listens for recurring patterns and helps people name the emotions under those patterns. She often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and emotion, and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when useful.
Jennifer’s background includes work in community agencies and private practice, plus prior experience as an adult educator in colleges and business schools. That teaching work shaped how she explains skills and tools during sessions. She also holds a Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies and is a Nationally Certified Counselor in addition to the LPC and LCPC credentials.
Sessions focus on building skills clients can use outside of therapy. Jennifer teaches techniques, practices brief experiments in session, and helps people create a set of coping tools they can return to. The aim is to make therapy understandable and practical for everyday life.
Her approach is flexible and collaborative. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts methods as needed. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
Approaches used in online sessions
Jennifer commonly integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions and attachment patterns that shape difficult interactions and relationship feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and helping people develop their own solutions based on what matters to them. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and teaches practical strategies to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing as people learn what helps them most, so the plan evolves over time.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice techniques from home and bring real-life situations into conversation. Licensed professionals can help choose the session structure that best fits each person’s daily life and goals.
