About Jennifer
Jennifer Howard is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and concerns about self-esteem. She also lists help for issues like guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, and life transitions.
She frames sessions around the client's experience and strengths. Jennifer leans on practical conversations that look at thoughts, behaviors, and values. She often uses strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and client-centered ways of listening. That means she encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to practice small steps toward those values. She also brings skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change. Jennifer aims to help clients name what they feel, understand where those feelings come from, and experiment with ways to act differently. Conversations include practical tools and short, doable exercises to try between sessions.
Her style is conversational and goal-minded. If someone is carrying guilt or shame from past choices or family patterns, she works with them to sort through those feelings without judgment and to find workable next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them despite uncomfortable feelings. It is useful for guilt, shame, and low motivation because it focuses on meaningful action rather than only changing feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and self-critical thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and create moments of choice when emotions are strong.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with a client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method from the start.
