About Autumn
Autumn Jarvis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW with 13 years of experience based in Wisconsin. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, self-esteem issues, career pressures, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English.
Her style is direct and practical. She uses conversational, client-centered methods to help people talk through what is most pressing. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to focus on values and actionable steps. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are included when they fit the goal.
Autumn’s background includes work in community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric care, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics. Her undergraduate study was a Bachelor of Science in Vocational Rehabilitation with concentrations in substance abuse, criminal justice, and psychiatric rehabilitation. She also holds a Master of Social Work (MSW).
In sessions she helps people name patterns that increase tension or anger, practice skills to respond differently, and plan small changes that can be sustained. She likes clear goals and simple homework that fits day-to-day life.
Outside of clinical work she is a parent who enjoys running, CrossFit, reading, coffee, and time with her dogs. The clinician notes that therapy is one part of life’s work and that making changes often takes steady effort and practice.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in that direction. In practice this looks like setting values-based goals and trying short experiments between sessions to test what helps reduce anger or avoidant reactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thinking patterns and behavior cycles that keep tension or frustration high. Sessions involve noticing triggers, testing alternative thoughts, and practicing behavior changes that reduce reactivity.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce escalation and increase choice in stressful moments. These practices are short and can be used when anger starts to rise.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.
Confirm current session options before booking. If you plan to work online, consider what fits your routine - quieter surroundings for focused practice, shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions that avoid video when that makes participation easier. These practical choices help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific format.
