Jennifer Hogue, LMHC

Jennifer Hogue is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who uses straightforward, collaborative care to help people move forward. She centers sessions on practical tools and steady support so clients feel heard and can take small, manageable steps toward their goals.

Jennifer often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and shift patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. She blends that with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to strengthen emotion regulation and improve interactions with others. Her work also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and a client-centered stance to keep sessions grounded in each person’s values.

Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing career strain, caregiver stress, parenting difficulties, and the effects of life changes such as divorce or separation. Additional attention goes to attachment concerns, body image, and co-occurring issues like ADHD and bipolar mood concerns.

With seven years of experience, Jennifer aims for practical, skill-based work that fits daily life. Sessions tend to mix short-term coping strategies with longer-term goals about relationships, boundaries, and meaning. She speaks English and provides services from her Massachusetts practice.

People can expect a direct but compassionate approach that balances skill-building with listening. The focus is on what will make daily life more manageable and on steady steps toward greater balance and resilience.

How CBT, ACT, and DBT work online

Jennifer frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try practical experiments to shift them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday challenges.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help clients clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT supports people facing life changes, grief, and chronic stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills show clients concrete ways to manage strong emotions and improve communication, which can help with relationship strain and anger.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That means trying practical skills, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people work in real time and practice skills together, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messages allow quick check-ins or brief skill coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
