Jennifer Kordell offers a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy and meets people where they are in their lives. She acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out for support and focuses on practical, client-guided work that honors each person’s pace and priorities.

She is experienced supporting older adults and frequently works with people coping with depression and anxiety, along with a range of life stressors such as grief, relationship challenges, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Jennifer often draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, collaborative space where the person’s priorities guide each session - this approach helps with life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns by building on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools for coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That partnership helps tailor sessions so they feel meaningful and manageable.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and allow people to connect from settings that suit them. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints while still working with licensed professionals toward clear, practical goals.
