About Jennifer
Jennifer Redlin is a licensed mental health counselor who brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice in Iowa. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and identity concerns, and issues related to trauma and shame.

She helps people who are navigating grief, relationship struggles, addiction, and challenges with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
Jennifer also supports those facing attention differences, bipolar symptoms, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving or high-stress work. She adapts conversations to each person’s pace and needs. Her work often addresses deeper roots like family of origin, attachment patterns, and communication problems.
Jennifer uses practical, evidence-based techniques to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. She also pays attention to body image, chronic illness, and how physical health can shape mood and behavior. People can expect straightforward talk about goals and realistic steps between sessions.
Jennifer values collaboration and checks in about what is or isn’t working. She avoids judgment and focuses on building confidence and stronger self-regard. Jennifer is licensed as a mental health counselor (LMHC) and as a professional counselor (LPC).
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients, using a mix of live and message-based formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps clients can try between sessions. One approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior changes that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets trauma-related shame and safety by helping clients name difficult memories, practice new responses, and build a sense of control over reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match the client's goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming one way fits everyone. Clients and the therapist set priorities together and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit a variety of needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule counseling around work, family, and daily life.
