About Jennifer

Jennifer Ouellet brings a cognitive-behavioral orientation to her work, blending practical skills with empathic listening to help clients address patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress.

Background and approach

She uses CBT alongside client-centered and motivational strategies to create collaborative plans that target concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and stress-related difficulties. Her emphasis is on concrete tools and goal-oriented steps while maintaining sensitivity to each person’s unique history and values.

Licensed as an LMHC in Florida, Jennifer draws on 25 years of professional experience to support people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting and family issues, compassion fatigue, and mood or trauma-related problems. She also works with clients around self-esteem, coping with life changes, and a range of concerns including communication problems, infidelity, and substance-related issues.

Jennifer frames therapy as a partnership, offering coaching-style guidance alongside therapeutic interventions to empower clients as they make changes and build resilience.

Online Therapy with CBT and Collaborative Care

Jennifer commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical strategies that often help with anxiety, depression, substance-related issues, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating a supportive space where a person’s own goals guide the work, which can be especially useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and may combine elements from different methods to fit the situation. This ongoing collaboration helps tailor interventions so they feel relevant and achievable for the person seeking support.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to follow up between sessions, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured, goal-oriented care from a distance.
