About Jennifer

Jennifer Howard is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Indiana. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Jennifer frames clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on building strengths to move forward.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. Jennifer draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. She also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to create a calm, respectful atmosphere where people feel heard.

Jennifer has six years of clinical experience working with the issues listed above. Her style is collaborative - she listens first, then suggests small steps clients can try between sessions. The work often includes skill-building, reflection, and real-life experiments to test new ways of coping.

In sessions she helps people untangle patterns that keep problems repeating. That might mean looking at family of origin themes, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, or communication habits. She also addresses caregiver stress, midlife questions, and finding renewed life purpose.

People who choose Jennifer can expect direct feedback paired with empathy. She invites clients to set goals that matter to them and to track progress in clear, manageable ways.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and when someone feels stuck and wants clearer direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills for managing mood, reducing worry, and changing unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Jennifer will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend methods to try. The plan can change over time based on what helps most and what fits daily life.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as those details are determined by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and limit the time spent traveling. It can also allow steady progress through a mix of discussion, homework, and mindfulness or skill practice that you can use in everyday situations.
