Jennifer Rochel , LCSW, LICSW

Jennifer Rochel is a licensed clinical social worker with LCSW and LICSW credentials and 20 years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career questions, and other life transitions. She brings extensive experience working with children and families in the child protection system, in school settings, and in private practice, and has supported many people coping with mood disorders and traumatic experiences.

Her work is rooted in a person-centered, holistic, multicultural, and integrative approach. She begins where each person is and tailors treatment to individual needs while attending to how cultural identities and lifestyle choices shape a person’s experience. That collaborative stance guides the therapeutic relationship and the goals set together.

Jennifer uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling to help clients develop practical skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and build resilience. She emphasizes a caring, respectful alliance and a safe therapeutic environment as central elements for making meaningful progress.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build action steps aligned with those values. It emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to practical changes that improve daily life, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the pace and priorities of work. This approach supports personal growth, self-understanding, and stronger relationships, and it can be especially helpful when people need validation and collaborative support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and problems with coping and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Jennifer will tailor interventions and adjust strategies over time to match what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by making sessions possible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to access care from home or other convenient locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care despite geographic or time constraints.
