About Jennifer
Jennifer Wiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, LICSW) with nine years of experience in Washington and nearby states. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, anger, addiction, trauma, and life changes.
Jennifer practiced in community settings, schools, and in-home services. She has worked with families involved with the child welfare system and has supported people through divorce, blended family issues, and workplace stress. She also supervises clinicians and those pursuing licensure.
Her approach is interactive and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques. Sessions focus on clarifying what is most challenging and setting manageable goals to address those problems.
Jennifer treats clients as the experts on their own lives and acts as a guide for change. She emphasizes realistic steps people can take between sessions to reduce reactivity, manage frustration, and improve communication. She aims to help clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding when anger or resentment builds.
She values ongoing collaboration and follows a problem-solving rhythm that moves from clarity to small experiments to review. That structure can help people track progress and adjust goals as life circumstances shift. If someone feels uncertain about therapy, she encourages looking for the right fit and offers to explore options together.
How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It often uses short exercises and values-based planning to address frustration and resentment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep anger and anxiety active, and teaches practical skills to test and change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques that reduce reactivity and help clients choose responses rather than react automatically.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily routines. She uses the first sessions to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
