About Jennifer
Jennifer Woodruff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing with eight years of clinical experience in Tennessee. She has focused on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and anger. Jennifer also works with people facing trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and career or purpose questions.
Before becoming a social worker she taught in a public elementary school and worked as a librarian. That earlier work shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of talking about problems. Sessions tend to be straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what can be done next.
Jennifer uses Client-Centered therapy to follow what the person brings into the room. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different actions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change, and Solution-Focused techniques help set small, often quick goals.
People meet her for common struggles like anger, stress, relationship and blended-family issues, obsessive or compulsive patterns, and the fallout from separation or domestic violence. She describes practical steps and small experiments clients can try between sessions to notice what changes and what doesn’t.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Jennifer respects each person’s choices and works collaboratively to decide next steps. If someone wants clear tools for managing temper, reducing resentments, or improving communication, she focuses on doable skills and steady progress.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Jennifer commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered work means the conversation follows what the person brings that day and prioritizes their goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps with symptoms like anger or anxiety.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change when they feel stuck. Together these approaches give both space to speak and concrete steps to try. Finding the best mix is a collaborative process - the therapist and client decide what methods fit the person’s needs, goals, and preferences as they go.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, keep shorter check-ins during a break, or continue momentum between in-person visits. The emphasis is on practical plans and small experiments that can be practiced in day-to-day life rather than abstract discussion.
