About Jennifer
Jennifer Gleizer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, family problems, and life changes. Jennifer also focuses on issues like codependency, caregiver stress, abandonment, and family of origin issues.
Her sessions are conversational and practical. She uses straightforward tools to help people notice patterns that keep repeating from their family background. Jennifer draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to set small, manageable goals. She also uses Narrative Therapy and Internal Family Systems ideas to help people make different sense of past roles and expectations.
In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Work can include mapping how family roles shaped current choices, practicing clearer communication, and making step-by-step plans for change. Jennifer pays attention to how guilt, shame, and forgiveness show up in relationships and daily life.
Her approach aims to be direct and practical. She offers a mix of short-term problem-solving and deeper work on long-standing patterns. For people wanting to address how childhood and family influences still play out now, she helps translate that insight into everyday changes.

How her online approaches translate to practice
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problem and rewrite the story they tell about their family roles and choices.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, adjusting the plan as goals and needs become clearer. This collaborative process helps align practical steps with the client’s values and daily life demands.
