About Jennifer
Jennifer Manning is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She works with adults on anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, parenting strain, and ADHD. Her style is calm and direct so people can talk about what matters most and leave with clear next steps.
With 13 years of clinical experience, Jennifer draws on Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused approaches to help people manage painful memories and overwhelming feelings. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach skills for staying present and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels low.
Sessions emphasize listening first, then building on strengths and real-life coping tools. Conversation often shifts to simple practices people can try between appointments, such as grounding exercises, brief behavior changes, or communication strategies for tense family moments.
Jennifer pays attention to how life events affect everyday functioning. She helps people process loss and disruption from major events, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster when that stress is part of the picture. Work may also focus on attachment and blended family dynamics that complicate day-to-day life.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Jennifer partners with each person to set clear, achievable steps and checks in on progress regularly. She encourages questions and adapts methods to fit each person’s situation and preferences.
Using evidence-informed approaches in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's lead to understand what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, validating space to sort through stress or relationship challenges.Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past traumatic events affect present feelings and behavior. It combines careful, paced discussion with practical skills to reduce distress and improve everyday functioning after trauma or stressful events, including responses tied to disasters.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them. These techniques can help reduce anxiety, manage panic symptoms, and support mood regulation in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That shared process guides which approaches are emphasized over time.
