About Jennifer
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 14 years of experience, Jennifer Williams uses client-centered work alongside trauma-focused methods to help people cope with a range of concerns. She commonly supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, and life adjustments. Sessions address practical problems like sleep, parenting strain, work stress, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
Jennifer draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build an honest therapeutic relationship. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) where appropriate. Her practice often focuses on trauma and PTSD, and she has experience across many settings and diagnoses.
Her background includes a Master in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling from Regent University earned in 2012. She has maintained a Virginia LPC since 2015 and has worked extensively with teenagers as well as adults. Many of her clients seek help for trauma, though she commonly addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and first responder issues as well.
In sessions she treats each person as an individual rather than a label. She uses talk-based techniques together with structured tools from CBT and DBT when needed. EMDR is part of her approach for trauma processing when clinically indicated.
Jennifer welcomes work with people navigating attachment or abandonment issues, adoption and foster care concerns, family-of-origin patterns, communication and commitment problems, and impacts from natural or human-caused disasters. She also supports those coping with fertility, divorce or domestic violence related problems.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative relationship and listening to what matters to the client. In online work this often looks like open conversation, reflection, and therapists shaping sessions around the person’s concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions commonly include skill practice, worksheets, and behavioral experiments that can be discussed between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-processing method that uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory work; when EMDR is part of care, the therapist explains how it will be used and prepares the client step by step.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on how the client responds and what fits their daily life.
Confirm the session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, use of digital worksheets between sessions, and options that work better when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire.
