About Jennifer
Jennifer Rochel is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She introduces herself warmly and focuses on building a caring relationship so people feel heard and supported. Jennifer emphasizes starting where a person is and finding realistic steps toward their goals.
She draws on 20 years of experience across community, school, child protection, and private practice settings. That background includes working with depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. She also has experience related to adoption and foster care and caregiver stress among other life challenges.
Her style blends person-centered listening with evidence-based tools. Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people relate differently to difficult feelings and notice what matters most.
Therapy sessions focus on practical steps you can test between meetings. Jennifer tailors each plan to the individual and pays attention to cultural background and life context. She works with people dealing with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, career concerns, and questions about identity and purpose.
She encourages people to begin with a short matching process and a conversation about goals. That first step helps decide if her approach fits the needs and schedule of the person seeking support.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action so small behavioral steps align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that make sense for your situation. Sessions are collaborative and may shift as needs change so you can find the best fit over time.
Confirm which session formats Jennifer currently offers before booking so you know how she holds sessions. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only when camera-free conversation is preferred or choose longer video visits for skills practice and interaction. Ask about the available session options when you schedule to match format and timing to your routine.
