About Jennifer
Jennifer Maise-Cormier is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people regain control when addictive behaviors or stressors begin to dictate their choices. Her work is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people make clearer everyday decisions.
She has spent a decade running intensive outpatient group therapy programs where people learn new habits that don't harm their lives. Sessions emphasize listening, honest conversation, and brainstorming real alternatives to patterns that cause harm.
Background and approach
Jennifer draws on evidence-based approaches to guide those changes while keeping the work grounded in daily life. Jennifer pays attention to the whole person - their history, current struggles, and future goals. She helps with addiction-related issues, stress and anxiety, grief, sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, parenting challenges, career concerns, ADHD, intimacy-related issues, and LGBT-related stress.
The tone in sessions tends to be supportive, direct, and solutions-focused. Clients can expect practical strategies they can try between meetings and regular check-ins about what's working. Jennifer encourages small, steady steps and adapts plans when needed.
She treats coaching as part of therapy when it helps someone meet personal or vocational goals. Outside of clinical work she enjoys northern Michigan, kayaking with her dogs, and biking. Those interests inform a calm, down-to-earth style in sessions and a focus on activities that support recovery and wellbeing.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Jennifer uses commonly employed evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing behaviors and building coping skills. One approach centers on habit change and relapse prevention, which teaches people to spot triggers, create alternative routines, and plan for high-risk situations to reduce harmful behaviors. Another approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety, stress, and sleep problems through practical tools like breathing exercises, activity planning, and sleep hygiene adjustments. These methods aim to produce concrete steps someone can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test methods that fit their life. That means adjusting strategies over time and choosing techniques that match a person's needs, pace, and preferences.
Online therapy makes these approaches easier to use in everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual coaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or writing through thoughts between meetings. Together, these formats offer flexibility for different schedules and situations while keeping the focus on practical change.
