About Jennifer
Jennifer Schweinhard is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like ADHD or addiction. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
She aims to make beginning therapy less daunting for someone taking their first step. Jennifer draws on existential ideas to help clients find meaning when life feels confusing or empty.
Background and approach
She uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. Cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing are added when practical tools and behavior change are needed. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and simple skills you can use between meetings.
Conversations are direct but warm, with attention to each person's values and choices. She supports people through both sudden crises and long-running difficulties, helping them make manageable changes. Her background includes work in community mental health and independent practice, and she has supervised provisional licensees and interns.
She holds a Master of Psychology in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University and earned a Child Mental Health Specialist designation earlier in her career. Therapy with Jennifer emphasizes collaboration, respect, and realistic planning. She works with each person to build on strengths and to design steps toward the goals they name.
The focus is on useful change rather than jargon.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and values. In brief conversations it helps people facing uncertainty, life transitions, or a loss of direction to name what matters and make intentional choices. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shaped feelings of safety and trust. This work helps people improve communication, heal from past hurts, and build more dependable connections.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on meaning and values, relationship patterns, or practical behavior changes, and can adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when a quick question comes up. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and travel.
