About Jennifer
Jennifer Woodruff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, relationship and family concerns, and addiction-related issues.
Jennifer previously worked in a community mental health center and spent part of her career as a public elementary school teacher and librarian. That background informs a straightforward, practical style in sessions. She aims to respect each person's decisions and to work with them where they are now.
In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person's lead and build on their strengths. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing change around substance use or difficult habits.
Jennifer often addresses relationship strain, parenting stress, blended family issues, grief, trauma and patterns such as codependency and control problems. She also works with people coping with anger, low self-esteem, career crossroads, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.
Her style is practical and goal-focused. Conversations usually include identifying specific steps, checking what works, and adjusting plans as needed. The focus is on manageable changes a person can try between sessions.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to arrange an initial session and set goals together. Costs vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach still center the person's goals and what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, and many daily stresses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans together with the client. That collaborative process helps identify which methods feel most useful for blended family issues, parenting stress, or substance-related concerns.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make meetings easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue care while managing school runs, work, or appointments. The aim is to make sessions practical and usable within everyday life while tailoring the steps and homework to what each person can realistically try.
