About Jennifer
Jennifer Christensen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, and depression. She approaches clients with a focus on finding practical steps forward. Her tone is supportive and straightforward, aimed at helping people make small changes that add up over time.
Jennifer uses clear, goal-oriented strategies in sessions. She draws on approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match tools to the problem at hand. Sessions tend to emphasize learning skills, building insight, and practicing new ways of coping.
Jennifer has five years of clinical experience and practices in Utah. Before clinical work she spent nine years in nonclinical social work roles that included psychoeducation, community engagement, and grant facilitation. She also holds a School Social Worker/Professional Educator credential from the Utah State Board of Education.
In practice she supports children age 8 and up, adolescents, and parents concerned about family and relationship patterns. She has worked with neurodivergent youth and with LGBTQ+ and trans teens. Her approach centers on listening to the client’s story and identifying strengths to build from.
People can expect calm, practical feedback in sessions and help turning goals into manageable steps. For someone who feels stuck, she focuses on small changes that can improve everyday functioning and self esteem over time.
