About Jennifer

Jennifer Garvin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and related concerns. Her background includes work with addiction, attachment issues, and a range of life transitions.

She describes a direct, communicative approach in sessions. Jennifer listens to each person’s concerns and invites their input on treatment plans. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her training includes approaches that look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She uses Attachment-Based methods to explore how early and current relationships affect coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce distress.

Jennifer also draws on Client-Centered and Mindfulness methods to support people in noticing emotions and building moment-to-moment coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help making a change but feels uncertain or stuck.

Clients who prefer clear collaboration and practical tools often find this style useful. Jennifer aims to make treatment participatory so people understand why certain steps are suggested and can give feedback. She works in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety and stress when someone wants concrete steps to try between sessions.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships affect feelings and reactions. This approach is helpful for people who notice recurring patterns in close relationships or who feel stuck by past losses or separation issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. She encourages feedback so the plan can change if something isn’t working.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can fit more easily into daily life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Talk with the therapist about timing and how to structure sessions to suit your routine.
