About Jennifer
LCSW in Utah with 5 years of experience, Jennifer Christensen helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She uses practical, solution-focused work and draws on approaches such as DBT, EFT, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Jennifer speaks English and practices in Utah.
Jennifer keeps sessions direct and task-oriented. She listens to a person’s story, highlights strengths, and helps set small, usable goals. She teaches skills for emotion regulation, communication, and motivation so people can try changes between sessions.
Her background includes clinical social work practice and several years of nonclinical social work in psychoeducation, community engagement, and grant facilitation. That mix informs a focus on practical strategies and real-world problem solving. Jennifer also holds the School Social Worker/Professional Educator credential from the Utah State Board of Education, which shaped her work with young people in educational settings.
In sessions she draws from several evidence-informed methods. Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas help with managing strong feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods support clearer communication in close relationships. EMDR is used with trauma work when appropriate and agreed together.
Jennifer has experience supporting children aged 8 and up, adolescents, and families, and has worked with neurodivergent young people and LGBTQ+ and trans teens. She keeps language straightforward and uses short, concrete steps so parents and teens can understand what to try next.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching concrete skills for handling strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Online sessions can include skills practice, role plays, and short exercises to try between meetings, which helps with anxiety and emotional overwhelm.Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to improve how people communicate and connect in close relationships. In remote sessions she guides conversations, helps name emotions, and supports pairs or individuals in trying new interaction patterns in everyday life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that works on processing distressing memories. When used, sessions include structured processing and grounding techniques tailored to what the person can tolerate while moving at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. She will work together with each person to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress unfolds.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins when a brief conversation is needed rather than a longer commute.
