About Autumn
Autumn Jarvis is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, compassionate presence to sessions. Autumn aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find practical steps forward.
She uses plain language and a calm approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on doable changes.
Background and approach
Autumn draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment work, and motivational interviewing to match the moment and goal. Her background includes work in community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric care, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics. That variety informs how she tailors interventions for different life situations and stressors.
Autumn emphasizes listening first, then collaborating on a plan. Parents who feel overwhelmed or stuck often find her practical style helpful. She aims to support people through parenting strain, burnout, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring issues like substance concerns or mood struggles.
Sessions are meant to be a place to sort priorities and rehearse new ways of responding. Outside of clinical work, Autumn spends time with her son and two dogs and enjoys running, CrossFit, reading, and Green Bay Packers games. She aims to bring warmth and normalcy into therapy while helping clients build lasting coping skills.

How Autumn’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. It helps people tolerate difficult feelings while building a life that matters to them, which can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to change unhelpful habits. It is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood swings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist reflects and supports the client's own problem-solving and growth.Choosing the right approach happens together. Autumn listens to the client’s goals, life context, and preferences and then recommends techniques that fit. Over time she adjusts methods so the work stays relevant and actionable rather than purely theoretical.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller check-in is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching between sessions, or a way to reflect when typing feels easier. These options support flexibility, making it simpler to keep momentum and practice new skills between meetings.
