About Jennifer
Jennifer Dunn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting challenges, and related concerns such as grief or life changes. Jennifer speaks English and practices in California.
She focuses on practical, clear conversations. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening at home and to try small changes that can make daily life easier. She addresses topics like anger, intimacy issues, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping after loss.
Jennifer also brings attention to family-related areas that often show up for adults. These include blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, fatherhood issues, caregiving stress, and family of origin patterns. She helps people sort through communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and concerns about aging relatives.
Her approach emphasizes respect and sensitivity in the conversation. She works with each person to shape sessions around their present needs and goals. That can mean symptom-focused work, practical communication strategies, or pacing support through big life transitions.
To begin, the process typically starts with a short intake and a plan for the next steps. Jennifer guides people through scheduling and works with them to set realistic first goals. If you want to explore parenting strain or a difficult relationship at home, she helps make those topics manageable in session.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common method focuses on improving communication and problem solving; it teaches concrete steps for talking about difficult topics and reducing conflict at home. Another approach centers on coping skills for anxiety and stress, using short exercises and behavioral changes to manage day-to-day symptoms and improve functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend a path to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new needs arise.
Practical benefits of online work often include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to check in between appointments or schedule brief follow-ups when life is hectic. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking.
