About Jennifer
Jennifer Bussell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, substance use, grief, trauma, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens without judgment to understand what is happening now. She aims to help clients find clearer next steps and practical coping skills.
Her approach focuses on what works for each person. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person's lead and build on their strengths.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Jennifer has worked in community agencies, a psychiatric hospital, and a program serving teens and their families. That background provides experience with a range of problems including post-traumatic stress and family problems.
She brings 11 years of counseling experience to her practice. Sessions are action-oriented when needed and reflective when that helps. She will collaborate with a client to pick tools that fit their life and goals.
For many people this means learning coping strategies, practicing mindfulness, or doing focused trauma work. People who are parenting and feeling worn down often find practical ideas here. Jennifer helps parents manage stress, set limits, and rebuild patience.
She supports people as they work through changing routines and recover from painful events. Her style is respectful, straightforward, and warm. She invites people to bring what is real now and to try small changes that can make daily life easier.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so sessions feel focused on what matters most. It helps people who need someone to understand their situation and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.EMDR is an approach used for targeting traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact through structured processing. When appropriate, EMDR can be adapted for online sessions with guidance and pacing adjusted to each person’s needs. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which approach or combination feels like the best fit based on goals and comfort level. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and when nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or messaging fits people who prefer written communication or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and daily life.
