About Jennifer
Jennifer Maguire is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting and intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of other life challenges. Jennifer communicates in English and has deep local roots in New Jersey.
Her work is client-centered. She treats each person as the expert on their life and listens to understand what matters most. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps clients can use day to day. Jennifer draws on multiple approaches to help people notice connections among thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Jennifer often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns of emotion and attachment that keep people stuck. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support manageable changes and clearer values-driven choices.
She uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are applied in concrete ways so clients can practice them between sessions.
Clients who choose to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jennifer often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients name and work with strong emotions and attachment-related patterns. EFT looks at how emotional reactions shape relationship patterns and helps people notice and change those patterns over time.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build small, workable steps toward those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while taking committed action aligned with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another strand she uses to identify problematic thought patterns and test new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will look at needs, goals, and preferences and then decide which combination of methods to try. That conversation guides how sessions are structured and which skills are emphasized.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where challenges happen, so what is discussed in session can be applied in daily life.
