Dr. Jennifer Gildner, CA Psychologist 24958, WA Psychologist PY60892685

Dr. Jennifer Gildner asks prospective clients to note that she provides care through asynchronous messaging only and does not meet via video or voice chat at this time. She schedules message reviews on weekday evenings and does not check messages on weekends. She is not able to complete forms or letters based on mental health therapy, such as ESA requests, workers' compensation documentation, or confirmations of services. If this messaging format, schedule, and limitations fit a client's needs, she invites them to continue reading to learn about how she works.

Dr. Gildner emphasizes that empowerment happens when intention becomes action. Her style is collaborative yet appropriately challenging, helping clients move from insight to practical change by drawing on their existing strengths. She encourages clients to articulate what they want from therapy and spends time exploring how cultural background informs presenting concerns. Within a supportive therapeutic relationship she helps clients try on new thoughts and behaviors, using mindfulness as a central tool to increase awareness and support change. Clients who value a strengths-based, mindful, and action-oriented approach may find her methods well suited to their goals, and she welcomes inquiries from those for whom this format and style are a good fit.

Mindful and Values-Guided Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with those values. It supports coping with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by combining acceptance strategies with practical behavior changes.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, collaborative relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them access their own resources for growth. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and exploring identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Gildner works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can take many forms - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - and offers flexibility for scheduling and ongoing access to supportive work between sessions. Dr. Gildner’s practice is tailored toward asynchronous messaging, with message reviews performed on weekday evenings and not on weekends; she also does not complete therapy-related forms or letters. This format is often helpful for clients who prefer written communication and adaptable scheduling while working with licensed professionals and therapists to make meaningful change.
