About Jennifer
Jennifer Gleizer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, and family problems. She talks with clients in a direct, compassionate way and adapts sessions to fit each person’s situation. Taking the first step toward change can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier to take.
With 15 years of experience, Jennifer draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape treatment. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Narrative Therapy is part of her work when people want to rewrite difficult personal stories and see themselves differently. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at the parts of a person that hold emotion and belief.
Sessions are centered on plain talk, real goals, and practical steps. Jennifer listens for patterns that cause pain and helps people test new ways of acting and relating. She pays attention to family history and how past losses or abandonment can shape present choices.
People who come for help with caregiver stress, codependency, commitment fears, or problems around infidelity and trust will find focused, goal-oriented work. Jennifer also supports those dealing with substance use, guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose and self-love.
Her approach balances short-term problem solving with deeper work on identity and relationships. She encourages collaboration on a treatment plan and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical steps and concrete goals to create change quickly.She treats approach selection as a team effort. During early sessions she will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on thinking patterns, short-term problem solving, or parts-based work and then adjust the plan as progress happens.
