About Jennifer

Jennifer Boes is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She works with individuals who are trying to rebuild confidence, handle major life changes, or find more steady footing after distressing events. Jennifer emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a calm, steady presence during sessions.

She draws on practical, person-focused methods to shape sessions around each person's needs. Conversations are tailored so clients can set the pace and focus on what matters most to them.

Background and approach

Jennifer supports people as they name goals, try new coping skills, and practice different ways of relating to stress and worry. Her clinical background includes seven years of experience working in California settings where mood disorders, panic, and post-traumatic stress were common concerns. That experience informs how she helps clients manage symptoms and build day-to-day strategies for functioning better.

She is also familiar with issues tied to attachment, domestic violence, and veteran or armed forces experiences. When trauma is part of the story, Jennifer uses trauma-focused methods to guide careful, paced work. She may also use EMDR or client-centered approaches when those fit a person's goals and readiness.

Throughout, she aims to create sessions that feel understandable and doable for busy, worried people. Jennifer invites people to take small steps toward change and offers steady support while they do. Her practice focuses on helping clients develop clearer self-awareness, stronger coping skills, and more confidence moving forward.

How trauma-focused and client-centered care works online

Jennifer uses client-centered therapy to make sessions about the person in front of her. That approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals while she offers guidance and practical ideas. It can be useful for stress, low mood, and building confidence after hard experiences.

When trauma is a focus, she uses trauma-focused therapy to pace the work and help people reduce the hold of painful memories. This approach breaks goals into small steps and teaches coping skills to handle strong emotions. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, when appropriate; EMDR involves a structured way of revisiting distressing memories while pairing simple bilateral stimulation to help lessen emotional intensity over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and what feels most manageable. Together they decide whether to start with supportive, client-centered work, a trauma-focused plan, or integrate EMDR as readiness grows.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework guidance, or shorter conversations between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around life demands.
