About Jennifer
Jennifer Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 14 years of experience. She lists trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and adjustment concerns among the issues she works with. She also notes experience with ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, and first responder concerns.
Jennifer earned a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Regent University in 2012. She has worked in a range of settings and with many different diagnoses. Much of her practice has involved clients struggling with trauma, and she has spent time helping people manage the aftereffects of abuse and loss.
In sessions she follows a client-centered approach that focuses on building a working relationship first. Conversation is collaborative and focused on the person rather than a label. She frames therapy as a process where the client’s goals and background guide what happens in sessions.
Jennifer uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, emotionally focused work, and EMDR where appropriate. She draws on these methods to address symptoms like anxiety, trouble sleeping, anger, or intrusive memories. The aim is to identify patterns, practice new skills, and process difficult experiences.
She offers services in English and notes that international clients are accepted. Practical next steps include completing the site matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment through the online options button.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship and listening closely to the person's goals. Online sessions using this approach center on open conversation and joint problem solving to shape the work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and introduces practical skills to shift them. In remote sessions this can mean working through thought records, behavioral experiments, and short between-session tasks aimed at reducing anxiety or improving sleep.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories and lower their emotional intensity. Delivered online, EMDR adapts the procedure so a person can follow guided bilateral stimulation and process memories with the therapist's guidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is made together and can be adjusted over time based on progress.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when schedules are tight.
