About Jennifer

Jennifer Fishman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and an Idaho Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Oregon and works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, relationship challenges, grief, and career questions.

She previously worked as an adult educator in colleges and business schools. That background shaped how she explains ideas and teaches practical skills. In counseling she focuses on helping people notice strengths and develop useful tools for everyday problems.

Sessions are conversational and direct. Jennifer uses a mix of proven methods and explains them as she goes. Clients learn techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential ideas when those fit the issue.

She emphasizes building a personal set of skills people can use between sessions. That might include coping skills for anger or anxiety, clearer ways to raise concerns with others, and step-by-step planning for career or life changes. The aim is practical: reduce reactivity, improve problem solving, and make choices that feel manageable.

People who prefer straightforward, educational sessions tend to do well with her style. She explains options, offers short exercises during sessions, and helps clients track small changes over time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which helps with anger, anxiety, and mood. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

She also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused ideas when needed, keeping the work collaborative. The therapist will discuss which approaches make most sense for your goals and adjust the plan as you go. Choosing the best method is a shared process based on what feels useful and realistic.

If you plan to work online, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, avoiding travel, and scheduling around work or childcare. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills in real time and to bring everyday problems into the session for immediate feedback.
