Jennifer Boes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. She listens without judgment and matches each session to the person in front of her. Her goal is to help people feel more confident and steady in daily life.
She draws on client-centered methods to shape conversations around what matters most to each person. That means sessions focus on the client's own goals and pace, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Jennifer also uses trauma-focused work and EMDR for people whose past experiences continue to cause fear or overwhelm.
Jennifer has seven years of clinical experience across settings where people faced anxiety, depression, panic, and relationship stress. She has worked with concerns like attachment challenges, domestic violence, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, and social anxiety. She adapts her approach to the problem at hand and to what the client finds most helpful.
Practical tools and steady support are part of how she works. Sessions can include breathing and grounding practices, steps to rebuild confidence, and guided processing of difficult memories when appropriate. She aims to empower people to make manageable, lasting changes.
To begin, she asks clients to outline what they hope to change and what has felt hard so far. From there she helps craft a clear plan and checks in regularly to adjust the work as needed.
How these approaches work for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's goals and experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and adjusts sessions to what feels most useful. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem and managing everyday stress and anxiety.
Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of past traumatic events on current life. It includes guided conversations and coping strategies to reduce symptoms and help people feel more in control. It can be applied when trauma affects mood, relationships, or daily functioning.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for reducing the intensity of distress tied to traumatic memories. It involves focused processing with the therapist guiding steps to help the brain reprocess difficult experiences. EMDR is often used when trauma or post-traumatic stress symptoms are a main concern.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and comfort with different methods. They will then recommend and try approaches collaboratively, checking in and changing course when needed.
Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, try shorter check-ins, or meet during a lunch break.
