About Jennifer

Jennifer Christman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with seven years of professional experience in mental health therapy. She has long experience working with children, teens, and families across multiple settings for two decades. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, anger, and depression.

Her approach centers on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, with mindfulness practices woven in. Sessions focus on building practical coping skills, learning relaxation techniques, and talking through problems that keep returning. Conversations are guided by the person's goals and everyday pressures rather than clinical jargon.

Jennifer draws on years of varied work in schools, clinics, and community settings. That background informs how she suggests strategies that fit real life, such as brief calming exercises and skill rehearsals you can use at home or work. She emphasizes steady, usable tools over abstract theories.

Early sessions typically clarify what is most stressful now and which patterns are causing repeated conflict or upset. From there she and the client pick a few skills to practice between meetings and check what helps. Mindfulness is used in short, practical ways to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of triggers.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical skills practice, and gentle challenge when old habits are getting in the way. The focus is on what can be tried next, rather than long explanations of why something happened.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach involve open conversation about what feels most pressing and building a plan together. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often uses brief skill practice and problem-focused tasks between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness; these practices can be guided in a session and repeated alone. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which combination of client-centered conversation, CBT techniques, and mindfulness feels most useful. That choice can change over time as goals and needs shift. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy week and using shorter check-ins when needed. If you hope to use online appointments, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and then review what helped during the next session.
