Jennifer Cole is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and lists ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, career stress, and compassion fatigue among her areas of work.
Jennifer often works with adults navigating big transitions. She pays attention to past hurts and current struggles, and helps people identify practical steps they can take now. Sessions tend to focus on improving day-to-day functioning, managing emotions, and making choices that fit current goals.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools and emotion-focused strategies to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Jungian perspectives and mindfulness practices may appear in conversation when helpful.

She mentions work with infertility, loss of a child, and survivors of sexual assault among the concerns she addresses.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and expectations. In sessions this often means mapping important relationship patterns and practicing new ways of connecting and responding to stress. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person leads the pace of change; online sessions can preserve that rhythm with steady conversation and goal setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and small experiments; online meetings are a place to review homework, try new strategies, and track what changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jennifer will work collaboratively to decide what methods fit a person's needs and goals. That may mean starting with supportive, listening-focused sessions, then adding CBT or emotion-focused work when the client is ready.
The practical benefits of meeting online include easier fitting of sessions into school or work schedules and shorter check-ins when time is tight. The platform matching step and scheduling process are used to set the first appointment. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so they match your routine and preferences.
