About Jennifer

Jennifer Fishman brings 17 years of counseling experience and a practical background in education to her work. As an LPC and LCPC licensed in Oregon she combines her training with a long history of helping people identify strengths and build skills for life’s challenges.

Background and approach

Her earlier career in adult education informs a teaching-oriented approach that emphasizes learning and personal growth. She favors a collaborative, client-centered style that helps people discover new perspectives and practical tools.

Jennifer often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with elements from dialectical behavior and emotionally focused approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to expand self-awareness, improve coping with stress or change, and develop strategies for concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addictions, career transitions, and parenting challenges.

Clients can expect a flexible, skills-focused process where techniques are explained and practiced so they can be applied between sessions. Jennifer emphasizes empowerment and workable solutions, supporting clients to become more resilient and resourceful as they move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jennifer commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, stress, and habits that interfere with daily life. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s self-directed growth through acceptance and validation. When helpful, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are included to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapt techniques as the work unfolds so the plan fits the individual’s circumstances and values.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of work, practice skills between sessions, and access support from licensed professionals without needing to travel.
