About Jennifer
Jennifer Shaw-Klymyshyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and issues related to relationships, parenting, and addictions. She also addresses family of origin issues and other concerns such as career change and compassion fatigue.
Jennifer uses a strengths-based, person-centered way of working. She helps people talk through current problems and make practical changes. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can take between visits as well as discussion in the session.
Her approach draws on several methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change when habits or addictions are a concern.
Jennifer also brings psychodynamic ideas into conversations about how earlier family patterns show up now. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when a person wants shorter-term work with clear goals. Together these methods are used to help people manage symptoms and make changes that fit their life.
She works with adults on mood and anxiety disorders, grief, relationship and parenting struggles, and a range of personality and behavioral issues. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from her Oregon practice. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jennifer commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and trying different actions to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change habits such as substance use and supports small, sustainable steps toward goals.She also uses Narrative Therapy at times to help people reframe long-standing stories about themselves and about family roles. That approach can be useful when family of origin patterns continue to influence current relationships or self-image. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative part of therapy; the therapist and client will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and caregiving routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The therapist will review practical details and session frequency during the first scheduling steps so sessions can be arranged to fit daily life.
