About Jennifer

Jennifer Quinn brings a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach to therapy with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral techniques. She blends practical skills training with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people navigate anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience, she adapts treatment plans to each person's needs and draws on a range of methods including EMDR for trauma work and emotionally-focused interventions for relational concerns. As a licensed clinician holding LMSW and LCSW credentials, Jennifer practices in Michigan and frames therapy as a collaborative process.

Her work often addresses self-esteem, compassion fatigue, parenting and blended family issues, eating and sleep difficulties, bipolar and mood concerns, ADHD, and career-related stress. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical skills that can be used between sessions to support ongoing change and resilience.

Jennifer encourages clients to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life by crafting individualized goals and using approaches that fit personal values and circumstances. She supports clients through motivation, coping with life changes, and recovery from substance-related problems, offering a compassionate and steady therapeutic presence.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work, using CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills, and ACT to clarify values and increase psychological flexibility when facing anxiety, depression, or life transitions. She also uses EMDR when trauma processing is indicated, offering a structured way to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Deciding on the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, symptoms, and preferences and then tailor techniques and exercises that fit those needs. Sessions can blend skill-building, mindfulness practice, emotional processing, and action planning so clients feel supported in trying approaches that suit their situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent work into busy lives or during transitions. These formats allow for regular check-ins, homework review, coaching-style guidance, and ongoing support from licensed professionals while maintaining a structure that helps clients progress toward their goals.
