About Jennifer

Jennifer Kirkpatrick, LPC, LPCC helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or managing changes in relationships and parenting. She is based in Ohio and brings seven years of counseling experience to conversations about mood, trauma, addiction patterns, and self-esteem. Sessions are described simply and directly to make it easier for a worried parent to read on a phone.

Her style is warm and practical. She focuses on listening first and then setting clear, short-term goals.

Background and approach

Jennifer draws on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. In sessions she helps people break big problems into manageable steps.

That can mean practicing new ways of thinking, trying small behavior changes, or learning skills to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. She emphasizes strengths and real-world solutions rather than long lectures. Jennifer has experience working with trauma, grief, parenting stress, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and compulsive behaviors among other concerns.

She explains options clearly and builds a plan that fits each person’s daily life. Her credentials include Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC. People who choose her often want straightforward guidance, practical coping skills, and a steady collaborator for changing patterns.

The work is collaborative and goal oriented, with an emphasis on usable tools parents can try between sessions.

Online support

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping parents and individuals name what matters most and build on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or address sleep and eating habits. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and managing conflict in relationships when that is a concern.

Choosing the right approach happens together. Jennifer will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals, symptoms, and daily life. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent alongside parenting, work, and other commitments.
