About Jennifer
Jennifer Cole is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. Her work also addresses ADHD, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, and career-related stress.
Jennifer frames therapy in straightforward terms. She helps people make sense of how the past affects their present. Sessions often focus on practical steps to reduce distress and rebuild routines. She emphasizes small, manageable changes rather than sweeping plans.
Her background includes an emphasis on attachment and relational patterns. Jennifer uses approaches that look at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions today. She combines that with cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She also draws on emotionally-focused and client-centered methods to support emotional expression and to prioritize the client’s perspective. Jungian concepts may be used when exploring personal meaning, symbols, or life transitions. These tools are presented in clear, day-to-day terms rather than academic language.
People who reach out tend to be facing transitions - breakups, divorce, infertility, loss, or stepping into new roles such as becoming a stepparent or merging households. Jennifer’s style is practical and grounded. She asks direct questions, suggests concrete strategies, and reviews progress from session to session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jennifer commonly uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current responses. This approach helps people understand loyalty conflicts, trust issues, and how to shift interaction habits that cause stress. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, depressive patterns, and coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and help decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. The therapist and client work together to try an approach, check how it feels, and adjust as needed.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches, like CBT, can be adapted to brief focused sessions, while attachment or emotionally-focused work may use longer conversations. Ask about specific session lengths and formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
