About Jennifer

Jennifer Seward is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years as a clinician and more than 30 years in social work. She offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Jennifer aims to make the first steps feel manageable and understandable.

She draws on Narrative therapy to help people untangle the stories they tell about themselves. That work often connects with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to address worries, mood, and unhelpful thinking.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to focus on real-life problems and clear next steps rather than abstract theories. Jennifer pays attention to how a person's surroundings shape their day-to-day functioning. She looks at relationships, stressors, caregiving demands, and parenting pressures to find practical changes that make a difference.

Her background includes extensive work with adults and youth affected by trauma and painful life events. Conversations in sessions are straightforward and respectful. Jennifer aims to be open and honest while keeping a nonjudgmental tone.

She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, attention challenges, intimacy issues, and career or caregiving strain. Her practice often helps people facing family of origin concerns, adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, and codependency. She blends client-centered listening with structured tools so people leave sessions with options they can try between meetings.

How Jennifer Uses Narrative and ACT Online

Jennifer often combines Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that hold them back and build meaningful action. Narrative work looks at personal stories and separates the person from the problem so they can see options. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small steps toward a life that matters, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals, needs, and preferences. She listens to what matters most, tries practical techniques, and adjusts based on what helps the individual move forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth situation, and live chat or text messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try new strategies in everyday life.
