About Jennie
Jennie Harvat is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience based in Missouri. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD. Social anxiety and phobia are included among the areas she focuses on.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical skills work. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy methods to help with emotional regulation and coping during intense moments. Sessions also include attention to trauma responses and mood management when those come up.
Jennie blends conversational therapy with simple mind-body practices. She may introduce sound-based relaxation methods and suggest individualized herbal supports when appropriate. Those elements are offered alongside talk work rather than replacing it.
Her style is direct and grounded, with an emphasis on building clarity and durable coping skills. Clients work on recognizing patterns, practicing new behaviors, and reducing the impact of panic or avoidance in social situations. The focus is on repeated practice and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Practical concerns such as caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose are part of the work she addresses. People come for help with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and ongoing mood disorders.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Dialectical behavior therapy focuses on teaching concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Online sessions can include practice of these skills, guided coaching through difficult moments, and homework to build new habits.Mind-body techniques such as simple sound-based relaxation are presented in short practices that can be done during a session and repeated at home, which helps with panic symptoms and tension. Jennie also discusses lifestyle supports and individualized herbal suggestions when appropriate, explaining how these fit with talk-based work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as needed. That means trying concrete DBT skills, brief relaxation exercises, or other evidence-based options and seeing what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people consistently practice skills and follow through on agreed steps between meetings.
