About Jennifer

Jennifer Howell is an LCSW licensed in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by addressing depression, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as self-esteem and anger.

She works in a straightforward, person-centered way, listening first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can try between meetings and clearer ways to manage difficult feelings. Jennifer describes clients as the experts on their lives and offers support to find workable options.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That means conversations include reflective listening alongside tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. People often leave with small experiments to test what helps in daily life.

Jennifer also assists with career questions and life purpose concerns when people are rethinking work or next steps after major changes. She addresses issues that often overlap with these transitions, including ADHD, bipolar concerns, postpartum depression, social anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Sessions cover practical relationship topics like communication problems, and deeper emotional material such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, dissociation, and isolation. She names compassion fatigue and women’s issues among the areas she supports. Her work aims to help people find clearer direction and steadier coping, one step at a time.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them clarify values and next steps. It’s useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through decisions, life changes, grief, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches simple ways to notice thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, then try different responses. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, and managing mood changes tied to bipolar or seasonal shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration can include trying client-centered listening for a few sessions, then adding CBT skills if people want more concrete behavioral tools.

The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting meetings into a busy week and using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online work to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, or health demands, and a therapist can help plan how sessions will fit into everyday life.
