About Jennifer

Jennifer Such is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She focuses on trauma-informed work and practical supports for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and practices in Missouri.

Jennifer draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions aim to help people identify what matters most, notice unhelpful patterns, and build everyday skills that make life easier. She uses a calm, direct approach and centers the person’s priorities when planning work together.

Her background includes many clinical settings helping adolescents and adults with mood disorders, trauma, bipolar concerns, and substance use. That variety informs how she adapts techniques for different challenges and life stages. Jennifer places value on compassion, listening, and practical problem solving.

In therapy she helps people strengthen coping skills for sleep, anger, parenting strain, grief, career stress, and attention challenges like ADHD. She also addresses complex situations such as chronic pain, attachment issues, and co-occurring conditions. Progress is framed as steady steps rather than sudden fixes.

People can expect straightforward collaboration about goals, options, and steps between sessions. Jennifer encourages honest conversation and works with each person to find strategies that fit their daily life.

How Trauma-Focused and ACT Work Online

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing past events and reducing their ongoing impact. It typically involves safe, paced conversations and techniques that help a person notice triggers, calm strong reactions, and build new ways of coping. This approach can help with trauma, abuse, and related anxiety symptoms.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose behavior that aligns with what a person cares about. ACT often supports people facing depression, stress, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick techniques that match a person’s needs and daily life.

Session formats supported by this profile are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can offer many of the same exercises, skills training, and trauma-focused tools through remote sessions when those formats are available.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
