Jennifer Rochel, LCSW, LICSW

Jennifer Rochel is a licensed clinical social worker with LCSW and LICSW clinical social work licenses and 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing a wide range of challenges - from depression, anxiety, and trauma to grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Her practice also includes support for families, parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and work with children involved in the child protection and school systems.

Jennifer places strong value on building a trusting, caring therapeutic relationship and on meeting each person where they are. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that begins with understanding an individual’s cultural identities, background, and current needs, and then tailoring interventions to fit those realities. Her experience spans private practice and systems-based settings, bringing a practical perspective to treatment.

Her clinical approach is integrative and person-centered, with attention to multicultural and holistic factors that shape well-being. She primarily draws on evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies, and she adapts these tools to the unique goals and circumstances of each person seeking help.

Integrated therapeutic approaches for online care

Jennifer Rochel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is practical for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on action aligned with what matters most.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. CBT helps people develop skills for coping and problem solving in day-to-day life.

Jennifer brings a client-centered stance to every session, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so treatment is tailored to each person’s cultural background and goals. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - she and the client work together to identify which methods fit best based on needs, preferences, and progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals when in-person care is not feasible.
