About Jennifer

Jennifer Howell is an Oklahoma licensed clinical social worker who approaches therapy with respect for each person’s experience. She emphasizes the client’s own knowledge of their life and looks for strengths to build on. Jennifer frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to support people taking the first step toward a more satisfying life.

She uses a straightforward style in sessions, listening carefully and reflecting what she hears. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage depression, cope with life changes, and handle grief or trauma. Jennifer also helps people working through anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, and burnout from compassion fatigue.

Across sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on the person’s perspective and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental setting. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify thought patterns and try different behavioral strategies for clearer outcomes. These approaches are mixed to match what a person needs in the moment.

Jennifer’s work includes attention to relationship and communication problems, dissociation, obsessional behaviors, postpartum mood changes, and women’s issues. She supports people wrestling with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Her background as an LCSW informs a practical, down-to-earth way of working.

Therapy with her moves at a person’s pace. Jennifer encourages steady steps toward greater calm and clearer decision making. She asks people to name goals and then helps test small changes that add up over time.

How Jennifer Uses Client-Centered and CBT in Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens deeply, mirrors what she hears, and offers acceptance so people can explore feelings and choices at their own pace. This approach is useful for concerns like grief, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This can help with symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD tendencies, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jennifer works with each person to decide whether a client-centered stance, CBT techniques, or a mix fits their goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the therapist’s biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone-only options if they prefer less bandwidth or a quieter session without video. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to choose formats and scheduling that fit your life.
