About Jennifer

Jennifer Lawrence is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and related concerns.

Background and approach

With nine years of experience across educational settings and a residential treatment facility, she draws on a mix of person-centered principles alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-minded strategies. Jennifer emphasizes collaboration, treating each person as the expert on their own life while guiding them to identify meaningful goals and the steps to reach them.

She has worked with youth, adults, and families in roles that included academic, career, and mental health counseling, and she brings that breadth to her online practice.

Jennifer holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology and rehabilitation-related fields, and she pairs that training with practical skills to support clients coping with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and anger difficulties, career concerns, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Outside of work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and time with family and friends, and she aims to offer encouragement and steady support as clients pursue lasting change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep struggles, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person's perspective and building a collaborative, empathic relationship so clients feel supported while exploring goals and values. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence, which can be useful for addictions, career decisions, and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines listening and structured techniques to tailor sessions, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities emerge.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or on the go, support regular check-ins, and allow clients to use the communication style that helps them engage most effectively with therapeutic work.
