About Jennifer
Jennifer Furlong is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical help for common life struggles. She writes and talks plainly, and aims to make steps feel manageable for people under stress or facing major changes. She brings 20 years of counseling experience.
During that time she worked with teens and young adults in residential settings, did home visits with families, and completed assessments and crisis intervention for hospitals. That background gives her experience with fast-moving situations and with steady, longer-term concerns.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses clear, down-to-earth methods. She listens to what matters most to each person, then offers tools that fit their life. Those tools may include cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness skills to calm the body and mind, and solution-focused steps to move forward quickly.
Jennifer often supports people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship and family issues, addiction, trauma, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also addresses caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, and struggles related to mood and personality concerns. Her approach is collaborative and practical.
She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between sessions, and adjust plans as life changes. Jennifer is based in Texas and offers services in English to clients in other places as well.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies goals, and offers support that respects the person's own pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and steady guidance.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and homework to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find tools that fit daily life.
Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text are useful for brief support, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people pick formats that fit their routines and energy levels.
