About Jennifer
Jennifer Dunn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflicts, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports those coping with depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, and life changes.
She focuses on straightforward talk and practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions are designed to address whatever is most pressing, like recurring arguments, built-up resentment, or trouble setting boundaries. She uses conversations and exercises to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Jennifer also helps with issues tied to family history and caregiving. That includes attachment concerns, blended family questions, fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care matters, and communication problems. She addresses guilt, shame, infidelity, and the stress that comes with caregiving or fertility struggles.
Her approach is adaptable and problem-focused. She and the person in therapy work together to pick strategies that fit daily life. Sessions can include practice of new communication skills, planning for hard conversations, and steps to reduce reactivity.
Jennifer uses her clinical experience to support steady progress over time. She asks about concrete goals, tracks what changes between sessions, and adjusts plans as needed. Prospective clients can expect a clear, practical focus on what to try next.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Therapy often draws on clear, evidence-based techniques that help people change how they react and communicate. One common approach focuses on practical skills training for communication and anger management. It breaks down heated moments into steps you can practice, like slowing a response, naming feelings, and choosing a different action. This helps with arguments at home or tension at work.Another helpful method emphasizes noticing thought patterns and shifting them. It involves tracking thoughts that escalate frustration and testing alternative ways of thinking. That approach is useful for anxiety, guilt, shame, and the quick spirals that fuel anger.
Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try a few techniques, and adjust what they do together based on what helps. Therapy moves at a practical pace and focuses on what changes you can make between sessions.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real situations into the conversation without promising a particular format.
