About Jennifer
Jennifer Shaw-Klymyshyn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in behavioral health. She focuses on practical steps people can take when stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or addiction make daily life heavier. Her tone is collaborative and direct, so sessions tend to be straightforward and goal oriented.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs rather than one fixed method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thoughts and build different reactions.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change and helps find internal reasons to move forward. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are also part of her work when it helps to understand long-standing patterns. Solution-Focused methods are used to set small, realistic goals and notice early progress.
This variety lets her tailor sessions for issues like relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, or career transitions. Jennifer has worked with people facing mood disorders, anxiety, thought disorders, and personality-related concerns. She also helps with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, codependency, domestic violence aftermath, and substance use concerns.
The focus is on clear steps, coping strategies, and building strengths. Sessions are offered in English and scheduled during mornings and early afternoons. People begin by completing a short intake questionnaire, and then plan sessions that fit their needs and timing.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and what to expect
Jennifer commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach suits anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and build momentum when they feel stuck. Narrative Therapy is used when reworking personal stories helps people make sense of trauma, loss, or identity issues.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and a shorter way to track progress. These options allow scheduling during mornings and early afternoons to fit into daily life.
