Jennifer Kind, LPC

Jennifer Kind is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oregon with more than 11 years of experience working with adults and couples. She approaches therapy with a relaxed, collaborative style that blends empathy, curiosity, and a bit of humor to help clients move through patterns that no longer serve them. Jennifer believes change often begins with increased awareness - noticing habitual thoughts and reactions opens the door to small shifts that, over time, create new ways of responding and living.

Her work is eclectic and integrative, drawing from mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, relational therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, Hakomi, and nonviolent communication. She is also a Certified Daring Way facilitator, applying the research and practices of Brene Brown to help clients build shame resilience and cultivate greater self-compassion. These approaches are used to address relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, anxiety and stress, trauma and grief, ADHD and mood disorders, issues related to sexuality and gender, and challenges around life transitions and career.

Jennifer holds a Master of Arts in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies - a program that combined Eastern and Western perspectives and integrated multiple waves of psychology. She helps clients clarify values, strengthen relationships, and regain agency over their lives while offering space for learning, insight, and even laughter.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people develop more secure, connected ways of relating. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depressive patterns and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer draws on these methods while listening to each person’s goals, strengths, and preferences, and she tailors interventions so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone let clients meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative ways to stay connected between appointments. These options can make it easier to access consistent support around schedules, caregiving responsibilities, work, or mobility constraints, and they allow licensed professionals to adapt how they work to best support each person’s needs.
