About Autumn

Autumn Jarvis is a licensed social worker who supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also addresses related areas such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, and communication or control issues. With 13 years of clinical experience, she draws on this breadth to help clients navigate life changes and complex emotional needs.

Jarvis emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings safely. Her training includes a Master of Social Work and extensive experience across community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric care, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics.

She uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person's goals, aiming to empower practical coping strategies and clearer pathways forward. Outside of work she enjoys time with her son and two dogs, coffee, reading, running, CrossFit, and cheering for the Green Bay Packers.

Approaches and Accessibility for Online Care

Autumn integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients address patterns of thought and build a values-driven life. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences and committing to actions that align with personal values.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the relationship by offering empathic listening and support so clients feel heard as they clarify goals. Finding the most helpful approach is treated as a collaborative process; she works with each person to tailor methods based on their needs, preferences, and goals rather than prescribing a single pathway up front.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and fit therapy into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, supporting steady progress across work, family, and life commitments.
