About Jennifer

Jennifer Howell is an Oklahoma-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings five years of professional experience to her therapeutic work.

Background and approach

She approaches clients with a belief that each person holds expertise about their own life, and she focuses on identifying and building on existing strengths to navigate challenges such as depression, grief, trauma, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical skills to move toward greater stability and well-being.

Howell blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered principles to create a supportive, goal-oriented environment. She works with a broad range of issues including anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and relationship or family difficulties, while also addressing focused areas like obsessive-compulsive patterns, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and social anxiety.

Prospective clients can expect an affirming approach that centers their values while introducing strategies to reduce distress and increase functioning. Based in Oklahoma, Howell offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

She frames the initial steps into therapy as courageous and collaborative, helping clients establish a foundation for more peaceful and fulfilling daily life.

Combining Practical Skills and Person-Centered Support Online

Jennifer Howell integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered principles into online care. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood regulation. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, helping clients explore values, build self-compassion, and shape personal goals in a supportive environment.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Howell works with each person to determine which methods and techniques best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy, adjusting direction over time as needs evolve. This shared decision making helps clients feel involved and understood while pursuing meaningful change.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy lives, continue work from different locations within Oklahoma, and choose the communication style that best supports their comfort and progress.
