About Jennifer
Jennifer Howard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and family conflict. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's story and existing strengths. Seeking help is a brave step, and she offers steady support during change.
Jennifer uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Techniques include cognitive behavioral work to challenge unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, and acceptance-based strategies to clarify values and action steps.
Her practice focuses on real-life problems like parenting strain, relationship patterns that feel stuck, and the aftermath of past abuse or loss. She also addresses issues tied to attachment and codependency, helping people notice recurring patterns that cause pain. Sessions include skill building, thought work, and reflective conversation.
With six years of experience as an LMHC, Jennifer blends warmth with direct feedback. She invites questions and checks in on progress regularly. The aim is to help people build tools they can use between sessions and feel more confident handling stressors.
People meet Jennifer for short-term goals or longer work on deeper patterns. She supports practical steps such as improving communication, managing strong emotions, and finding clearer direction in life.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small steps toward them. It uses present-moment awareness and committed action to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing techniques to lower reactivity and improve emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jennifer collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts methods as needed so the work stays relevant and practical.
Confirm available session formats before booking to know what options are offered. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing therapy during a lunch break, or offering shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also makes practicing techniques like mindfulness and thought records easier between meetings. Talk with Jennifer during the matching process about what will work best for your routine and needs.
