Jennifer King, LCSW

Jennifer King is a licensed Oregon therapist with 16 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. She brings dual training as an LCSW and an RN - the LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the RN is a Registered Nurse - which informs her understanding of both emotional and medical contributors to distress, including chronic pain and long-term illness.

Her work centers on practical, evidence-based techniques delivered through an eclectic toolkit tailored to each person. She aims to strengthen self-esteem, restore motivation, and reduce symptoms of depression by combining skill-building with reflective exploration. Jennifer is direct yet compassionate in sessions, offering clear guidance while honoring each person’s experience and goals.

She attends to the multiple factors that shape wellbeing - biological, psychological, and social - and partners with clients to set realistic steps toward change. Whether addressing isolation, communication challenges, life purpose concerns, or the difficulties of midlife, she supports clients in developing coping strategies and making meaningful shifts. Jennifer values authenticity, thoughtful challenge, and steady support as people explore what matters most and move forward.

Evidence-Based Care Delivered Remotely

Jennifer King uses a range of evidence-based techniques focused on practical skill building and emotional processing. One common emphasis is on skills-based strategies for managing stress and anxiety - teaching coping tools, pacing, and behavioral steps that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. She also works with grief and loss through interventions that help people process emotion, integrate memories, and find forward momentum while honoring what they have experienced. In addition, her combined social work and nursing background supports tailored approaches for coping with chronic pain and long-term illness, addressing both symptom management and the emotional impact of living with health challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Jennifer partners with each person to identify goals, experiment with techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances. That partnership guides how therapy unfolds over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and varied routines. These options help licensed professionals and therapists maintain continuity of support, reduce travel time, and increase accessibility for those managing work, caregiving, or physical health limitations.
