About Jennifer

Jennifer Lawrence is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. She aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or pushed to their limits by stress, anger, grief, or life changes. Her tone in sessions is encouraging and practical, and she centers conversations on the goals each person brings.

Jennifer grew up in rural Virginia and learned early to notice when others needed help. She has nine years of clinical experience and has worked in schools, residential treatment, and other community settings. That background shaped a style that mixes straightforward problem solving with listening and support.

Her approach is person-centered, meaning the person in therapy is treated as the expert on their life. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed techniques to identify patterns, shift unhelpful thinking, and build doable steps forward. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and how to take practical steps toward those goals.

Jennifer also draws on her training in rehabilitation counseling to support people managing chronic illness or disability. She helps people clarify career and academic goals, cope with compassion fatigue, and address challenges with attention, sleep, or substance use. Her style is collaborative and action-oriented, with space for talking through feelings and testing small changes.

Outside of work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and time with family and friends. The emphasis in her practice is on steady progress that fits into a person's daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Jennifer uses a person-centered way of working that begins by listening to what matters most to the client and building goals from that starting point. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps the work tied to their values and choices.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood.

Finding the right fit is a team effort. Jennifer will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try approaches that match those aims, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps pick tools that actually work for the client's daily life.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care while managing work, family, or health commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, motivational interviewing, and person-centered work to an online setting to focus on concrete steps and progress.
