About Jennifer
Jennifer Dowd is an Ohio LPCC with ten years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and anger. She also helps with coping through life changes and mood-related concerns.
Jennifer focuses on straightforward, practical conversation. She listens to how anger and other struggles show up day to day. Then she and the client make a plan that fits the person’s routine and goals. Sessions emphasize learning skills and practicing them between meetings.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop different reactions. Mindfulness-based methods are used to increase awareness of bodily and emotional signals. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels stuck, especially around substance use and other addictive patterns.
Jennifer has worked in settings that exposed her to a broad range of mood and trauma issues, including panic, post-traumatic stress, and problems with self-esteem. That background informs a practical, problem-solving focus in sessions. She uses client feedback to adjust the pace and tools as needed.
People who contact her can expect clear, direct conversation about goals and next steps. The emphasis is on building skills that reduce angry outbursts, lower reactivity, and improve daily functioning. Jennifer accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and stress. In practice this means tracking triggers, testing thoughts, and rehearsing alternative responses to reduce reactive behavior.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice bodily signals and emotions as they arise. These skills help slow down intense reactions and give more choice in how to respond to frustration or resentment.
Motivational interviewing is useful when someone is unsure about changing a habit like substance use. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen a person’s own reasons for making changes and to set realistic next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new challenges appear.
