About Jennifer
Jennifer Grunewald is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 10 years of experience in mental health and substance use settings. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, coping with life changes, and concentration or memory concerns. She also works with ADHD-related difficulties and related issues like isolation, guilt, and problems with communication.
Jennifer uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches and practical skills in sessions. She draws on her background with substance use treatment and mental health care to help people manage urges, reduce anxiety, and make plans for change. She can teach coping skills and strategies that fit day-to-day life.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps. Jennifer will work with a person to identify priorities, build concrete plans, and practice tools such as distress tolerance and attention strategies. Conversations are direct and centered on what is useful now rather than on abstract theory.
Her experience includes work with grief and loss, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and fatherhood concerns, and she is familiar with how family of origin patterns and codependency can affect current behavior. She also supports people dealing with impulsivity, substance use, and feelings of shame or isolation.
Jennifer offers care in English from Minnesota. International clients are not accepted. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit your schedule and location.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Jennifer uses evidence-based techniques to help with common concerns. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors; these methods are useful for anxiety, stress, and concentration difficulties. Skills-based work, including elements from dialectical behavior therapy skills, teaches distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and attention strategies that people can practice between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jennifer will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then suggest practical steps to try. Together the client and therapist will track progress and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking to a fixed plan.
Confirm the session formats Jennifer currently offers before booking, as the original biography did not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into study, work, or caregiving schedules. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or use screen-sharing for worksheets and skill practice. Licensed professionals can guide how to adapt techniques so they work in a remote setting and fit into everyday life.
