Jennifer Cole , LMSW

Jennifer Cole is a Licensed Master Social Worker who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in Michigan. She focuses on helping people navigate major life changes and manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Jennifer often supports clients dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, ADHD, and concerns common to women in transition.

Her approach begins with listening. Sessions are grounded in empathy and practical conversation. She helps clients name what is overwhelming, sort out options, and try small steps that can make daily life easier.

Jennifer uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean looking at how early attachments affect current relationships, using cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, or focusing on emotions to strengthen connections and healing. She also draws on client-centered and Jungian perspectives when they fit the work.

She often works with people facing relationship endings, infertility or loss, sexual assault recovery, caregiving stress, and the emotional fallout of major health or life transitions. Jennifer helps people untangle patterns like codependency, control issues, and communication problems so they can make clearer choices.

Work with her is collaborative and paced to what feels doable. She will help clients set short-term goals and track small changes. Many people come hoping to reduce anxiety, rebuild self-worth, and find steadier ground after difficult events.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jennifer uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviors; this can help with trust, abandonment concerns, and relationship struggles. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a client's goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which approaches feel most helpful over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for richer conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit brief check-ins or people with busy schedules. These options help clients fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel obligations while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
