About Jennifer
Jennifer Wiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, and codependency concerns. She brings nine years of practice in Washington, Oregon, and Utah to her work. Jennifer aims to be a steady, practical presence while clients sort through hard moments and make changes.
Her approach is interactive and straightforward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing as tools to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build clearer values-based goals. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.
Jennifer has experience in home, community, and school settings, and has worked with people connected to the child welfare system. She also supervises a team of therapists and supports clinicians pursuing licensure. That background informs a pragmatic focus on everyday challenges and safety.
In the room she treats clients as the experts on their lives and acts as a guide. Together she and the client set realistic goals and track progress over time. The emphasis is on steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.
She describes herself as open-minded, caring, and non-judgmental. Jennifer encourages people to reach out even when it feels hard, and she stays alongside them as they work toward greater ease in daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It often focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and provides practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or let someone attend without needing to be in a particular location. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises used in ACT and CBT to the online setting so clients can practice between sessions and track progress in daily life.
