About Jennifer

Jennifer Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Virginia with 14 years of experience. She goes by Jenner and works with people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and sleep problems, and work-related strain such as compassion fatigue and first responder issues.

She has a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Regent University, earned in 2012, and has maintained her Virginia LPC since 2015. Much of her caseload has focused on trauma and related diagnoses. She has experience working with teenagers and adults across a range of settings and diagnoses.

Her practice emphasizes Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered methods. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing approaches where appropriate. In sessions she prioritizes clear, respectful conversation and practical steps people can use between meetings.

Jennifer describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for patterns in relationships, attachment, and emotions that are hard to name, then helps people notice and change how they respond. Sessions often include skills for managing intense feelings, strategies for sleep and stress, and focused work on traumatic memories when needed.

She accepts clients in English and is open to international clients. Practical matters such as session cost vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How Jennifer integrates EFT and evidence-based methods online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. It helps people name hard-to-identify feelings and notice how those feelings shape interactions and behavior. EFT is commonly used for issues where relationship patterns and intense emotion are central.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what is said, and supports people in making sense of their own experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jennifer will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person’s goals, comfort, and the issues they bring. That collaborative decision helps shape whether sessions focus more on emotion work, skills training, or trauma processing.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to continue consistent care for people who live far from Virginia or who prefer remote meetings.
