About Autumn

Autumn Jarvis, LCSW, LICSW, is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin with 13 years of experience. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Autumn also notes work with issues like attachment, abandonment, body image, and caregiver stress.

Her approach is down-to-earth and straightforward. Sessions focus on talking through immediate problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying practical skills between meetings. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose values-based actions. Motivational Interviewing can be part of conversations about change when addiction or avoidance is involved.

Autumn’s background includes work in community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics. That variety informs a practical style that fits people coming from different life situations. She uses her Bachelor of Science in Vocational Rehabilitation and a Master of Social Work to guide how she frames goals and next steps.

Sessions are conversational and focused on small, usable shifts. Expect collaborative goal-setting and homework you can try between sessions. The tone is direct and supportive rather than theatrical or vague.

Outside clinical work she spends time with her son, two dogs, and activities like running and CrossFit. She mentions simple comforts too - coffee, pizza, pickles, olives, and cheese curds - which she says keep life balanced.

How sessions work

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps that line up with what matters, which can help with anger rooted in avoidance or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to reframe thinking and practice different behaviors, useful for irritability, workplace stress, and reacting quickly to triggers. Motivational Interviewing supports conversations about change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal reasons to act differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress and life circumstances change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a break, reduce travel time, and let people try techniques in the context of everyday life. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and motivational interviewing to remote sessions so that skills practice and goal-setting continue between meetings.
