About Jennifer

Jennifer Quinn is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 16 years of clinical experience in Michigan. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life adjustments. Her practice also addresses relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, and issues that trace back to family of origin patterns.

She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people notice recurring patterns and try different responses. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable steps rather than long lectures. Jennifer draws on cognitive methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and acceptance-based strategies to help clients live by their values.

Her background includes supporting people through trauma-related symptoms and grief, and she incorporates mindfulness and emotion-focused techniques when helpful. She also uses EMDR methods when clients and clinical judgment indicate it may assist with processing distressing memories.

Jennifer emphasizes collaboration in sessions. She and the client set goals together and track progress in simple ways. Meetings include skill-building, reflection on family roles and expectations, and practical strategies for everyday problems like sleep, work stress, and communication.

Practical matters such as cost depend on location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How Jennifer applies therapy approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from old family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts, behaviors, and routines to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to change unhelpful patterns that come from family roles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and process strong emotions to improve how they relate to themselves and others, including issues rooted in upbringing and attachment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That selection is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked over time.

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, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Working this way still uses the same core techniques - values-based exercises from ACT, thought records and behavior experiments from CBT, and emotion processing from EFT - adapted to a remote session so practical skill-building continues to be the focus.
