About Jennifer
Jennifer Gaeta is a California-licensed LCSW with four decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She centers the person in care, approaching each client as the expert of their own story and building on individual strengths to address challenges like compassion fatigue, isolation, and struggles with purpose. Her practice also addresses concerns such as body image, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and hospice or end-of-life counseling.
Jennifer draws from a range of therapeutic traditions, emphasizing collaboration and practical steps that align with a client's values and goals. She frames seeking support as a courageous first move and offers steady, empathetic guidance throughout the process.
Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy
Jennifer integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools and structured steps clients can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed over time, helping clients understand how connections and early experiences shape current responses and emotional needs.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess concerns, goals, and personal preferences, and then tailor interventions from these approaches to fit the client’s situation and pace. That collaborative planning helps ensure techniques feel relevant and manageable for real-life challenges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that best suit their daily routines and needs.
