Jennafer Matthews, LPC

Jennafer Matthews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 11 years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, straightforward space where people can say what they mean and work toward practical change. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she uses humor when it helps lighten the work.

Jennafer leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals, thought and behavior patterns, and skills people can try between appointments. She meets people where they are and helps them build tools to manage anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and life transitions.

Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy questions, parenting stresses, career strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to identity such as LGBT concerns. Jennafer works with people who face complicated combinations of problems including chronic illness, caregiving stress, ADHD, attachment wounds, and codependency.

In sessions she listens with curiosity and asks questions that help people notice what is getting in the way. She helps clients set small, achievable steps and checks progress each week. The work is collaborative: clients set the goals and Jennafer offers methods and feedback to reach them.

Therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jennafer conducts work in English and practices as an LPC in Wisconsin, applying her 11 years of experience to help people find more ease and direction in daily life.

How Jennafer’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs an empathic, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Jennafer will talk with each person about their goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what works. That collaborative process helps narrow in on tools that fit the client’s needs and preferences rather than sticking rigidly to a single method.

Online therapy lets the same work happen without traveling to an office. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be helpful when video is not needed, live chat supports shorter check-ins or real-time exercises, and text messaging works for ongoing coaching and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats as needs change.
