Jennifer Nelson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in Arkansas, Massachusetts, and Oregon with over 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming issues that challenge you. I often use the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions Focused approaches to help my clients work their way out of what is distressing them. I also use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help my clients with history of trauma when they desire more focused work to overcome challenges.

I find the CBT, Solutions Focused, and CPT approaches to be very effective, because you will begin to recognize what is going through your mind and how it affects your feelings and way that you react/respond to every day situations. I strongly believe “change your thoughts, change your life,” and using these approaches can help a person to recognize how self-defeating thought patterns can hinder their growth.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and you can be proud of yourself for taking that step! I am a supportive cheerleader to my clients and care about your success. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether connecting with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person work for most people.

One major benefit is the flexibility it offers. Clients can choose the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. This approach allows people to pursue consistent therapeutic support while using the communication method that works best for their needs.
