About Jennifer

Jennifer Such is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She practices in Missouri and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and family of origin issues.

She has worked with people in multiple care settings and brings a practical approach to sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and which patterns from the past keep showing up. Sessions look at behaviors, thoughts, and choices that get in the way of daily functioning and relationships.

Jennifer uses a mix of methods to help people learn new ways of coping. She draws on cognitive behavioral work to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance-based strategies to help clients clarify what matters and move toward those values.

For people who carry distress from difficult experiences, she can include EMDR-informed work to process upsetting memories and reduce their intensity. Skills from dialectical behavior therapy are used when emotions feel overwhelming and better emotion management is the goal.

In sessions she helps people name patterns that began in their family of origin and test different ways of responding. Practical steps and small experiments are common tools. Clients are invited to set concrete goals, practice skills between meetings, and check progress at follow-ups.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses short exercises to notice thoughts, clarify values, and choose actions that matter. It helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing alternative actions. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete skills to practice.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that seem to fit. Sessions may shift over time as needs change, and the clinician checks in about how methods are working.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use methods such as in-session behavioral experiments, skill practice between meetings, and structured worksheets without requiring office visits. Ask about the specific session options when you complete the initial matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
