Jennifer Pariera, LICSW

Jennifer Pariera is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She also supports people coping with addiction, compassion fatigue, mood shifts such as bipolar symptoms, and issues tied to aging and geriatric concerns. Her approach is calm and respectful, with an emphasis on practical steps and real-life goals.

Jennifer keeps sessions friendly and straightforward. She treats each person as an individual and works collaboratively to set goals that matter to them. Jennifer uses evidence-based tools to address symptoms and build skills for everyday life.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside mindfulness and acceptance-oriented methods to help people shift unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are also part of her toolkit when exploring values, choices, and personal stories.

With eleven years of clinical experience, Jennifer has worked with a wide range of concerns including caregiver stress, social anxiety, intimacy issues, and veteran-related matters. She aims to help clients find clearer perspective and practical coping strategies that fit their circumstances.

Sessions focus on small, achievable changes and skill-building. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space where they are invited to try new ways of thinking and acting. Jennifer encourages honest conversation and steady progress toward goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Sessions using CBT focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to change everyday outcomes.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients clarify their values and take committed action while accepting difficult feelings. ACT can be useful for managing chronic stress, life transitions, and persistent worries that get in the way of living well.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and may blend techniques over time as needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit sessions into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and reduces travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, communication style, and the pace of care.
