About Jennifer
Jennifer Lane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, LCPC) with 20 years of clinical experience and a practice based in Illinois.
Background and approach
She has built a career supporting people through stress, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions, and she brings experience addressing ADHD, social anxiety and phobia, and concerns common in young adults. Her licensure includes MO LPC 2022050174 and IL LCPC 180016848, reflecting two decades of work in counseling settings.
Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversation and interventions to each person’s needs. Jennifer blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-informed strategies to help clients develop practical skills, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and build confidence.
She frames the therapeutic relationship as collaborative and focuses on actionable steps that fit a person’s goals and daily life. Jennifer encourages anyone considering change to view the first step as an act of courage and offers steady support through that process.
She aims to create an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, tailoring sessions to the unique circumstances and priorities each client brings.
Accessible approaches for online therapy and skill building
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete strategies to change them; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem by teaching practical skill work that can be applied between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their experiences while the therapist supports autonomy and personal insight. Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help determine which combination of strategies fits you best, adjusting methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats let licensed professionals deliver guided skill practice, worksheets, and conversational support without requiring travel, making it easier to maintain consistency while fitting therapy into a busy life.
