About Jennifer

Jennifer Dunn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and family conflicts. Jennifer also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and life changes.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps. Conversations look at day-to-day routines, communication patterns, and what gets in the way of better relationships. When needed she will talk about past events that still affect current choices and feelings.

Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She and the client set clear goals and check progress as therapy continues. The work can include skill building for managing anxiety, improving communication, and coping with transitions.

She also helps people navigating blended households and related tensions, such as loyalty conflicts, merging routines, and co-parenting with an ex. That focus appears alongside other family and parenting concerns she addresses in her practice.

Jennifer aims for a direct, respectful approach. New clients are asked to outline current struggles and what they most want to change. From there she helps build a plan that fits the client’s life and priorities.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Jennifer draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure conversations and exercises. One common approach focuses on skill building for anxiety and stress management, teaching specific ways to notice triggers and practice coping strategies. Another approach centers on improving communication and problem solving in relationships, helping people change patterns that cause repeated conflict.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Jennifer treats clients and the therapist as collaborators who test what helps most. She reviews progress together and adjusts methods based on the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins between longer appointments. Different formats can also suit different needs - for example a phone session can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick update is needed. Ask about the available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
