About Jennifer
Jennifer Garvin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem, and she notes experience with family and parenting concerns as part of her work.
Her background includes work with grief, addiction, attachment struggles, and mood concerns. Jennifer uses a mix of approaches to help people notice patterns from their past and make practical changes in day-to-day life. Sessions emphasize clear conversation about goals and steps forward.
Jennifer follows methods drawn from attachment-informed work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered practice. She uses these to help people identify recurring relationship roles, understand reactions, and try small behavioral experiments between sessions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox for building focus and motivation.
In a session she talks through what’s happening now and links it with patterns formed earlier in life when helpful. She invites input about the plan and adjusts based on what the person finds useful. The tone is straightforward and collaborative, with attention to concrete coping skills and communication changes.
She has worked across a range of concerns related to family of origin issues, including attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, parenting strain, and caregiving stress. People who want practical strategies and clearer personal boundaries often find this approach useful.
Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Jennifer draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. That approach focuses on relationships, trust, and how people form closeness, and it can help with attachment issues and family-of-origin patterns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break down unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and action-oriented, useful for anxiety, depression, and changing daily habits. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, which means conversations center on the person's experience and choices rather than a directive style.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps identify whether a focus on relationships, skills practice, or motivation work best.
