Jenifer Regennitter

Jenifer Regennitter is a licensed counselor who helps adults work through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related struggles. She brings a calm, practical approach and aims to meet people where they are. Jenifer draws on 25 years of experience in behavioral health to support people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She holds a Master of Science in Education in Counseling and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Western Illinois University. Jenifer has worked across many care settings since 2000, including residential, inpatient, outpatient, and community mental health. That variety shaped how she tailors steps to each person’s situation.

Sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools. Jenifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address traumatic stress and its effects on daily life.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. People leave sessions with concrete steps and occasional homework to practice between meetings. Jenifer can also offer Christian counseling for those who want faith to be part of the work.

She works with concerns such as grief, panic, addictions, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, and mood disorders. The aim is to help people find more balance, manage symptoms, and move toward goals that matter to them.

How these approaches can work online

Jenifer uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people address the effects of traumatic stress and reduce its impact on daily life. This approach often involves processing memories and building safety and coping skills over time.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. CBT helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and practice small, concrete changes. Jenifer pairs these with a client-centered stance that focuses on the person’s priorities and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jenifer will talk with each person about their goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and which methods feel most comfortable. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also allow steady progress on trauma, mood, or anxiety concerns while using conversational work, skill practice, and homework assignments that translate between sessions.
