Jennifer Bussell , LPC

Jennifer Bussell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that authorizes her to provide professional counseling, and she brings 11 years of experience to her work with individuals and families. She creates a nonjudgmental, open environment where clients and therapist collaborate to address the challenges they are facing in the present.

Whether past experiences and trauma are affecting daily life or new stressors have surfaced at home, she helps clients untangle the emotions that follow - anger, frustration, deep sadness, intense anxiety, confusion, fear, or numbness. Her approach focuses on moving people from chaos and emotional turmoil toward greater stability and well being by identifying practical coping skills and next steps that fit each person’s life.

Jennifer listens without judgment and offers direction when clients want guidance, tailoring interventions to what works best for each person. She has worked across community agencies, in a psychiatric hospital, and in programs supporting teens and their families, experience that informs her work with stress, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, addictions, and other life changes.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and skill-building so clients can find more peace and clearer pathways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jennifer integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaborative goal setting, helping clients feel heard and supported while discovering personal solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and build coping skills.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for clients processing traumatic memories; EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused recall to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and associated reactions, often supporting recovery from post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match an individual’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access regular support, and practice new skills in the context of everyday life.
