Jennifer Kordell, LICSW

Jennifer Kordell welcomes people who have taken the step to seek support, whether they are looking for a listening ear, practical guidance, or a new way forward. She acknowledges how vulnerable asking for help can feel and begins by supporting each person exactly where they are, emphasizing safety, respect, and steady progress.

Her therapeutic style is warm, direct, and patient. Working from a client-centered perspective means the person in therapy remains the expert on their own life and goals. Jennifer focuses on current concerns and moves at a pace that feels manageable, using questions and reflections to help clients identify strengths and next steps rather than pushing immediate large changes.

Jennifer holds an LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - which authorizes her to provide clinical social work services independently. Her clinical experience includes work with older adults and with people managing depression and anxiety, and she has supported a wide variety of cultures and populations. She values learning from each person she meets and aims to be a dependable part of their support system.

She offers help through formats that suit individual needs, including live chat, video, and phone sessions, and typically has availability during weekday evenings. Jennifer approaches each connection with empathy and practical focus, collaborating with clients to help them build confidence and reach their goals.

Online Therapy and Therapeutic Approaches

Jennifer integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy in online work, tailoring each approach to the needs of the person she is supporting. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the individual's experience and goals, creating space for people to explore concerns at their own pace while building on their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood and offers practical strategies for change, often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for intense emotions, interpersonal struggles, and building day-to-day coping tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jennifer works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's goals, preferences, and challenges. She adjusts techniques over time and invites ongoing feedback so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Jennifer uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each session.
