Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence is a licensed professional counselor based in Virginia who helps people navigate work, relationships, and life transitions. She brings nine years of counseling experience and a warm, straightforward style to sessions. Jennifer aims to create a space where clients can figure out practical next steps and build momentum toward their goals.

She grew up in rural Virginia and learned early on to offer support within a tight-knit community. Her background includes roles in educational settings and a residential treatment facility, where she worked with youth, adults, and families providing academic, career, and mental health counseling. That variety shaped her flexible, down-to-earth approach.

Jennifer practices from a client-centered foundation and blends several methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help with changing unhelpful patterns, while Motivational Interviewing supports clarity and commitment. She also incorporates trauma-focused ideas when relevant.

Her training includes an undergraduate degree in psychology, a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration, and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. She also holds a Certification in Rehabilitation Counseling, which focuses on supporting people with chronic illness and disability.

In sessions, Jennifer focuses on what the client knows about themselves and what they want to achieve. She helps identify motivating reasons for change, maps small actionable steps, and offers ongoing encouragement as clients practice new skills. Outside work she enjoys kettlebell workouts, travel, and time with family and friends.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client's priorities. In an online session that means the therapist asks open questions, mirrors what a person says, and helps them clarify goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thought and behavior patterns and tests small experiments to change them. Online CBT sessions often include practical homework, tracking thoughts, and trying new actions between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Clients and the therapist review what is working and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to balance work, family, and appointments while working toward clearer career and life goals.
