Jennifer Lawrence, LPC

Jennifer Lawrence is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She writes plainly and listens closely so each person can set the pace. Her focus is on practical steps that move people toward clearer goals and steadier days.

Jennifer grew up in rural Virginia and started helping others early on. She has worked with youth, adults, and families in schools and a residential treatment setting. That background gives her a grounded, everyday view of the problems people bring to therapy.

Her approach is person-centered, which means she centers sessions on each client’s priorities and perspective. She blends that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused techniques to tackle patterns, build motivation, and address past hurts. Sessions often focus on small, achievable changes and clear next steps.

Jennifer earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration, and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. She also holds a Certification in Rehabilitation Counseling that emphasizes supporting people with chronic illness and disability.

Outside of work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and time with family and friends. She offers virtual counseling and aims to help people find practical ways to manage symptoms, improve relationships, and meet personal goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to name priorities and choose goals, which helps with motivation and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to a single method from the start.

Check the current session options before booking to confirm how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and offer flexible scheduling around work or family needs. Some formats can also reduce the need to be on camera or lower bandwidth demands, which can be helpful on days when a quick check-in is best.
