About Jennifer
Jennifer Robart is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Illinois with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, grief, life changes, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression.
She previously worked from 2018 to 2021 with people managing drug and alcohol addiction. That work shaped her approach to recovery-related issues and the emotional fallout that can follow. She often helps with grief, trauma, mood concerns, and the frustration that shows up around relationships and daily life.
Her style is conversational and client-directed. Sessions focus on identifying goals and practical steps to reach them. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that feed stress and anger, and Motivational Interviewing to help people find the motivation to change behaviors.
In session she listens for what a person values and what gets in the way. She aims to reduce shame and blame so people can try different actions and notice what helps. Progress is measured by clearer coping skills, fewer heated reactions, and better daily functioning rather than quick fixes.
People can expect straightforward, goal-focused work that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. Jennifer asks clients to name the problems they want to solve and then builds short-term steps to practice between sessions. This practical focus helps people manage anger, rebuild trust in relationships, and handle life changes more steadily.
How Jennifer applies CBT and Motivational Interviewing online
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts so someone can test new ways of thinking, which can reduce repeated angry reactions or persistent worry.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. This approach focuses on a person’s own goals and helps build commitment for practical steps, useful for habit change and addiction recovery work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each client to decide which method or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and situations change.
