About Jennifer

Jennifer Christman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania who draws on seven years of professional mental health experience alongside two decades of work with children, teens, and families in varied settings.

Background and approach

She centers her practice on client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral techniques, helping clients develop practical coping skills, relaxation strategies, and mindful awareness to manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and family conflict. She emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate therapeutic stance, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances and goals.

Sessions focus on skill-building and problem solving informed by clients' values and preferences, with mindfulness woven into the work to support emotional regulation and present-moment coping. Jennifer frames the initial steps toward change as courageous and positions herself as a supportive partner in that process.

Integrating Evidence-Informed Approaches into Online Support

Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered methods to guide online work in practical, accessible ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress; it emphasizes concrete skill-building such as relaxation exercises and problem-solving. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so the plan reflects what matters most to the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jennifer treats that as a collaborative effort. She will work with clients to explore which strategies fit their needs and preferences, adjusting the balance of skill-focused CBT, supportive client-centered conversation, and mindfulness practices over time to match evolving goals.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options allow clients to engage from different locations and schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools, ongoing skill development, and steady therapeutic support.
