About Jennifer
Jennifer Wiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) who brings nine years of clinical experience to her Washington practice. She has worked across Washington, Oregon, and Utah and holds a Master’s in Social Work from Eastern Washington University.
Background and approach
Jennifer has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship and family conflict, parenting challenges, trauma, addiction, and other life transitions, drawing on a background that includes in-home, community, and school settings as well as work with families involved in the child welfare system.
Her approach is collaborative and interactive, with an emphasis on practical strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, while remaining open to additional techniques to meet individual needs.
Jennifer describes clients as the experts in their own lives and positions herself as a guide who helps clarify challenges, set realistic goals, and support progress over time. She also provides clinical supervision for therapists pursuing licensure, reflecting a commitment to thoughtful practice and professional development.
Warm, nonjudgmental, and pragmatic, Jennifer aims to create a supportive therapeutic relationship that helps people feel more able to manage daily life and pursue meaningful change.
Online treatment using CBT, ACT, and mindfulness
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills to manage reactions and improve coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with committed action toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion through attention training and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and will adapt techniques from different approaches as needed to fit each person’s situation. This partnership aims to create realistic, manageable steps toward change while honoring the client’s expertise about their life.
Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to fit sessions into varied schedules and to continue work between meetings. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapeutic tools in the contexts where challenges actually occur.
