About Jennifer
Jennifer Schweinhard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and substance-related issues. Her work also covers life transitions, career stress, ADHD, and questions around sexuality and identity.
Jennifer draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current struggles. She combines that with client-centered listening and practical cognitive-behavioral techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings. Her background includes community mental health and independent practice work. She completed a Master of Psychology in Marriage and Family Therapy and has experience as a Child Mental Health Specialist and a clinical supervisor for provisional licensees, interns, and senior clinicians.
That mix informs a flexible, practical approach. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration. Jennifer helps people build on strengths and set achievable steps toward goals.
Conversations are direct but nonjudgmental so difficult topics can be addressed without added shame. Many clients find her style helpful when they need structure plus empathy. She uses narrative work to reframe difficult stories and motivational interviewing when change feels stalled.
The aim is steady progress through manageable tasks and clearer understanding of relationship patterns.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can focus on these patterns by talking through relationship history, noticing interaction patterns, and practicing new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers on empathic listening and helping people find their own answers, which transfers well to conversations over video or phone where the therapist reflects and clarifies concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete skills like mood tracking, behavior experiments, and coping techniques. Those tools can be assigned as short exercises between sessions and reviewed during live calls or written through chat and messaging to track progress over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of attachment ideas, client-centered listening, and CBT techniques fits best. That choice is guided by your goals, preferences, and how you like to work - whether through conversation, worksheets, or shorter check-ins by text.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for full sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between appointments or manage brief concerns without a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use tools in ways that suit individual routines.
