About Jennifer

Jennifer Oliver is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas with eight years of professional experience. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with mindfulness and somatic-informed approaches to support people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings, which shaped a practical, skills-oriented approach to care. She aims to create a welcoming space where clients can explore difficult feelings such as shame, guilt, abandonment, or the impact of trauma and chronic illness.

Jennifer often integrates tools to build self-compassion, increase emotional regulation, and improve communication patterns while addressing concerns like parenting stress, career challenges, bipolar mood management, and compassion fatigue. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set concrete goals and learn strategies they can apply between sessions.

Known for blending evidence-based methods with attention to the body and present-moment awareness, she supports work around attachment difficulties, end-of-life and hospice counseling, fertility and caregiver stress, and issues related to isolation or midlife reevaluation. Jennifer welcomes people who are ready to work toward clearer coping skills and greater resilience.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values-guided action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while building a meaningful life, which can help with grief, life transitions, and chronic stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that are useful for strong emotions, relationship struggles, and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to assess needs, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what aligns with the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions and evolve the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use skills coaching in real time between meetings.
