Jennifer Fields, LICSW

Jennifer Fields is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She works with clients facing career changes, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and the everyday strain of caregiving and workplace issues. Jennifer writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Her style is warm and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people notice what matters most to them. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small experiments people can try between meetings. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are often part of that work to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

Jennifer brings six years of clinical experience and holds LICSW credentials in DC and Rhode Island. She practices in South Carolina and has worked with people facing aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, cancer and hospice-related stress, and midlife transitions. That background informs how she supports practical problem solving and emotional coping.

Her approach also includes cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and strengthen important relationships. She pays attention to life purpose, control issues, forgiveness, and isolation when those topics come up. The emphasis is on steady progress and realistic steps that fit a person's life.

Clients are guided through a collaborative process that balances acceptance with action. Jennifer helps people set manageable goals, practice new skills, and build routines that support long-term well-being.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action on what matters to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where values-driven choices matter. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, with the therapist listening carefully and reflecting back what is important; this approach supports emotional processing and building trust in the therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, or workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can evolve over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific online options are not listed in the biography. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports continuing care during major life changes, letting people keep momentum between in-person appointments when those are practical.
