About Autumn

Autumn Jarvis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 13 years of professional experience in social work. She is licensed in Wisconsin and lists a background helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

She holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) and an earlier Bachelor of Science in Vocational Rehabilitation with concentrations in substance abuse, criminal justice, and psychiatric rehabilitation. Her work history includes community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric settings, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics. That variety gives her familiarity with different service settings and common life stressors.

In sessions she listens without judging and helps people talk through what’s happening at home and in their lives. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are also part of her approach when they fit the person’s needs.

Her style is straightforward and grounded. She focuses on practical steps alongside talking through difficult feelings. People often bring concerns about parenting strain, relationship stress, or the long-term effects of trauma and loss.

Outside of clinical work she spends time with her son and two dogs, reads, runs, and follows the Green Bay Packers. Those details reflect how she balances professional life with family and personal interests.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to look at ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often helpful with addictions and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with the client to identify which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That can mean trying one approach first and adjusting as progress and needs become clearer.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life by removing travel time and allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. They also let people continue work with licensed professionals while balancing parenting, work, and other daily responsibilities.
