About Jennifer
Jennifer Christman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in Pennsylvania with seven years of professional experience in mental health therapy and two decades working with children, teens, and families in various settings. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, family conflict, and depression. Jennifer uses straightforward, practical talk in sessions and focuses on building coping skills that people can use day to day.
Her approach leans on client-centered therapy, which centers the person's own goals and experiences in sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people notice patterns of thought and behavior that feed stress or anger. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to calm the body and refocus attention.
In sessions Jennifer emphasizes skill building and relaxation techniques. Conversations are aimed at identifying triggers, practicing new responses, and making small changes that reduce repeated frustration. She adapts the pace to each person rather than following a fixed script.
Jennifer has long experience in settings that work with young people and family situations, and she brings that background into her work with adults who are coping with family-related stress or ongoing resentment. Her style is practical and goal-focused, with an emphasis on steps people can try between sessions.
To begin she asks about current concerns and priorities, then helps set short-term goals tied to everyday life. The work is collaborative and focused on strategies someone can apply the next day.
How Jennifer uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered therapy focuses on your goals and what matters to you. In this approach the therapist listens and follows your lead, helping you clarify priorities and decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anger cycling. It uses short exercises and experiments to try different responses and notice what changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and lower immediate tension.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jennifer will work with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. They can also let you practice skills in your regular environment and bring real-life examples into the conversation. Licensed professionals often combine discussion, at-home exercises, and brief between-session tasks to keep progress moving.
