About Jennifer
Jennifer Dunn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflicts, parenting pressures, depression, grief, and other life changes. Jennifer also helps people facing intimacy issues, anger, low self-esteem, and concerns linked to bipolar mood disorder.
She approaches conversations with respect and sensitivity. Sessions focus on clear, practical talk about what is happening now and how family patterns from childhood may still affect daily life. Jennifer aims to make the work straightforward so people can try new ways of relating and coping between sessions.
In therapy she will listen for recurring roles or expectations you learned growing up. Together you can identify how those patterns show up in parenting, romantic relationships, or work. She pays attention to issues such as attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress when they are relevant.
Jennifer also addresses topics like infidelity, divorce and separation, communication breakdowns, codependency, fertility concerns, and fatherhood issues. Her work includes help with grief, guilt, shame, and navigating major life transitions.
Clients can expect a practical, conversational approach that names family-of-origin patterns and explores small changes to daily routines and interactions. The emphasis is on clear goals, concrete steps, and checking what helps as therapy progresses.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Jennifer draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and behavior. One common approach looks at patterns learned in the family of origin and how those roles show up now; this involves mapping interactions and testing small, different responses to see what changes. Another approach targets skills for managing mood and anxiety by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new coping strategies between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will review your goals, test what methods fit your preferences, and adapt as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant to your life.
Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer meetings to cover complex family issues. The focus is on making sessions workable for everyday life while you try new ways of relating and coping.
