Jennifer Christensen , LCSW

Jennifer Christensen is a solution-focused therapist who aims to help people learn, grow, and heal by building on their existing strengths. She values each person’s story and works collaboratively to address challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

She is licensed as an LCSW in Utah - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and also holds a School Social Worker/Professional Educator license from the Utah State Board of Education. Her professional background includes three years of clinical practice and nine years of nonclinical social work experience, with roles in psychoeducation, community engagement, and grant facilitation.

Jennifer serves children ages 8 and up, adolescents, and families, with experience supporting neurodivergent youth, LGBTQ+ individuals, and transgender teens. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, family of origin and family problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. She approaches therapy with an empowering, strengths-based stance aimed at helping people take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Online therapeutic approaches and flexible care

Jennifer frequently integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work to teach practical skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication - DBT is often helpful for people managing strong mood swings, relationship conflict, or self-harming behaviors. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support people processing traumatic memories and reducing the emotional impact of past events - EMDR can be useful for those coping with post-traumatic stress or histories of abuse.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time so therapy feels like a tailored partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility: sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, school, or work while maintaining a therapeutic rhythm that fits a client’s life.
