About Jennifer

Jennifer Ouellet is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and the everyday strains of parenting and family life.

She focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what a person wants to change. Sessions look at behavior patterns, thinking, motivation, and practical steps that make daily life more manageable. Jennifer uses approaches that help people set small goals and build skills they can use between meetings.

Her background includes long experience helping people cope with loss, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and substance use issues. She also supports those handling communication problems, guilt and shame, and life transitions such as aging or becoming a young adult.

Jennifer draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person’s priorities. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to address unhelpful thinking and to strengthen motivation for change. Solution-focused tools are used to identify immediate, achievable steps.

The tone in sessions is practical and goal-oriented. People who come for help will find direct discussion about parenting strain, grief, mood concerns, and managing stress. To confirm current session options before booking, please check the online therapy options and scheduling steps.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and lived experience. It means the therapist follows what matters most to the individual and keeps the work focused on those goals. This approach is useful for people who need to sort out family roles, parenting stress, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavioral changes. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and managing anger or substance-related habits.

Motivational Interviewing concentrates on building a person’s own reasons to change. It uses focused questions and reflective listening to increase motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving caregiving routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. That collaborative process shapes which methods are used and how sessions proceed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt methods so people can practice skills between sessions and track progress over time.
