Jennifer Smith

Jennifer Smith is an Indiana licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience. Her practice focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and issues around shame and self-acceptance. She approaches each referral with attention to the presenting problem and the context in which it appears.

Her clinical work draws on a variety of evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She emphasizes individualized planning rather than a single technique, adapting interventions to fit the needs and preferences of each person.

In addition to core specialties, Jennifer lists attention to chronic pain, co-morbidity, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas. She frames early steps toward change as an act of courage and positions herself as a supportive collaborator in that process, treating people with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion.
