Jennifer Hope , LPC

Jennifer Hope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and concerns related to LGBT issues. She invites clients to use their strengths as a starting point and supports them through practical steps. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step feel manageable and hopeful.

Jennifer keeps sessions straightforward and person-centered. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions often focus on everyday skills for coping, communication, and decision-making so progress feels useful between meetings.

Her background includes 16 years working in counseling settings. That time has included work with people facing substance use challenges, trouble with attachment or codependency, grief and caregiver stress, and relationship breakups. She also has experience addressing body image concerns, gender dysphoria, and matters tied to aging and blended families.

Jennifer uses a mix of methods to match what a person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking, and client-centered techniques to make sessions collaborative. She also uses the Gottman Method for relationship skills and hypnotherapy when appropriate.

People meet with her for in-person and online formats. Conversations are practical and paced to each person's situation, with an emphasis on skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps that match those values when stress or anxiety make choices harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical alternatives to change feelings and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and choices, with the therapist offering empathy and support while the client leads the pace and focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
