About Jennifer
Jennifer Manning is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her work on systemic therapy. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, trauma, and ADHD. Her style is practical and collaborative, focusing on what a person needs now and next.
She draws on client-centered conversations to understand each person's story. That means listening carefully and tailoring sessions to the individual's goals. Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused methods are used when helpful to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.
Background and approach
With 13 years of clinical experience, she has supported people facing mood struggles, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and the fallout from traumatic events. She also addresses family-related concerns like blended family issues, communication breakdowns, attachment problems, and divorce or separation stress.
Jennifer includes approaches that help with motivation and behavior change, such as motivational interviewing for impulsivity, fertility-related stress, and first responder challenges. She emphasizes small, doable steps so progress feels achievable between sessions. Sessions may include talking through difficult memories, practicing grounding and mindfulness, or building clearer communication strategies.
The overall aim is to identify strengths, reduce distress, and create practical tools that fit daily life. People looking for an approach that balances relationships, coping skills, and present-day problems may find her style useful.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and patterns that shape how a person feels and acts. Online sessions can help identify repeating dynamics and try new ways of communicating within everyday routines. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on open listening and building a trusting relationship. In remote sessions this often means steady, reflective conversations that prioritize what the person wants to change and the pace they prefer.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize relational work, mindfulness, or trauma-focused tools and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and modeled practices. Phone calls can fit into a workday or moments when camera use isn’t possible. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing written reflection between sessions.
