About Jennifer
Jennifer Scott is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience in mental health settings. She practices in Maine and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and other life changes. She also addresses caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, women’s issues, life purpose, and guilt and shame.
Jennifer uses a trauma-informed lens in her work. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on building skills that help people manage intense feelings. She draws on client-centered methods so conversations center on each person’s priorities and lived experience.
Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with grounding and noticing difficult thoughts and sensations without getting pulled into them. Solution-focused ideas are used for setting concrete goals and testing small changes between meetings. Trauma-focused strategies are used when past events continue to affect daily life.
Her style emphasizes respectful, direct conversations and collaborative planning. She avoids labels and keeps the focus on what a person wants to change and how to get there. Meetings are structured so people leave with practical things to try between sessions.
Jennifer tailors the pace and content to each person. She helps people talk through guilt or shame related to choices, identity, relationships, or past events. The work is steady and pragmatic, aimed at helping someone carry less weight day to day.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Jennifer often draws on client-centered therapy, which means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on their lived experience. This approach helps clarify priorities and shape sessions around personal goals. Mindfulness therapy is used to practice noticing thoughts and body sensations with less reactivity; it can help with anxiety, grief, and persistent shame by creating small pockets of calm.Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress and feedback indicate. That makes sessions collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats also require less bandwidth or let someone skip video when that suits them. These practical benefits can help make regular work on guilt, shame, or trauma more manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
