About

Jennifer Plunkett Skibins, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience supporting people through seasons of change, loss, and relationship challenges. She believes the resilience of the human spirit can be easy to lose sight of at certain points in life, and she approaches therapy as a meaningful opportunity to help clients reconnect with their strengths and values.

In her work, Jennifer partners with clients as they regroup, refocus, and renew their commitment to themselves and their lives. She helps bring awareness to unhealthy behavior patterns that are no longer helpful, while supporting the development of new, more effective ways of coping, communicating, and relating. With a focus that can include relationships, family concerns, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions, she aims to help clients create sustainable changes that align with the life they want to build.

Evidence-Based Support, Designed for Online Connection

Jennifer Plunkett Skibins uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients identify patterns that feel stuck and begin building healthier, more sustainable ways of coping and relating. In online therapy, this often includes collaboratively noticing what triggers unhelpful reactions, practicing new responses, and reinforcing skills that support everyday life - especially during relationship strain, grief, or major transitions.

She also focuses on strengthening insight and follow-through, helping clients clarify what they want for themselves and the life they are building. Sessions can support self-esteem, communication, and family concerns by turning vague stress into clearer goals and practical next steps that fit a client’s values and circumstances.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer works with clients in a collaborative way, adjusting the focus based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels relevant and workable over time.

Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits busy schedules, changing routines, or times when leaving home feels difficult.
