Jennifer Furlong , LPC

Jennifer Furlong is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping women and individuals manage stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, and relationship and family challenges. Jennifer speaks plainly and aims to make sessions feel manageable for people juggling busy lives.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm.

Jennifer's background includes two decades of work in residential settings, home-based family visits, and hospital assessments and crisis intervention. That mix gave her experience with immediate problems and longer-term recovery work. She applies what she learned there to everyday struggles now.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small steps. That might mean learning ways to handle strong emotions, improving communication, or planning concrete coping strategies for life changes. She also helps people who face caregiver stress, codependency, compassion fatigue, and grief.

People who choose Jennifer often want a practical approach that still honors their feelings. She aims to create a space where concerns are heard and a realistic plan is made. Her work is grounded in experience and shaped by what each person needs to move forward.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered work focuses on what matters most to each person. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client's priorities to set goals and next steps. This approach helps when someone needs a compassionate space to sort through feelings and decide what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and practical homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful for stress, depression, anxiety, and many everyday struggles.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase focus. These exercises are brief and can be used between sessions to manage strong emotions or reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see body language and build rapport, phone sessions require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or caregiving demands.
