About Jennafer

Jennafer Matthews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about anxiety, depression, trauma, or feeling stuck. Jennafer aims to listen first and help people feel heard and understood.

Her style is person-centered. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and offers guidance alongside their insight. Jennafer uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to tackle immediate problems and develop skills for daily life.

She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with stress, mood swings, and grounding after traumatic events. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is uncertain about change or needs a clearer plan for taking steps forward. Jennafer blends these approaches to match each person’s needs.

Clients often work on concerns like codependency, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, ADHD, grief, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image worries, and career or parenting strain. The goal is realistic, step-by-step progress rather than quick fixes.

Jennafer works from Wisconsin and offers therapy in English. She focuses on building a trusting, collaborative relationship and uses empathy and occasional lightness to keep work manageable. If someone wants steady support and practical tools, Jennafer aims to help them move forward at their own pace.

How Jennafer Uses Practical Therapies Online

Jennafer integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people tackle thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also brings mindfulness into sessions to teach simple grounding and attention skills. Mindfulness helps with stress management, mood regulation, and staying present during difficult moments. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by clarifying values and building small, achievable plans.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jennafer will listen to goals and preferences, then adapt methods so they fit the person rather than forcing a single style. Clients can expect regular check-ins about what is and isn't working as they try new tools.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving duties, reduce travel time, and allow shorter focused check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can deliver similar therapeutic tools online as in-person, and Jennafer aims to tailor each session to real-life schedules and needs.
