About Jennifer

Jennifer Wells, LCSW, brings 14 years of clinical social work experience in Texas to her therapeutic practice. She draws on training in Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral and attachment-informed techniques to help clients untangle persistent patterns and build practical coping skills.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in community mental health settings where she supported people facing a wide range of concerns from stress, anxiety, and trauma to relationship and parenting challenges. Her style centers on a collaborative, whole-person approach that emphasizes practical strategies and emotional understanding.

Jennifer combines goal-oriented tools with attention to internal parts and attachment dynamics, helping clients explore their internal experience while developing healthier responses to life’s demands. She works with issues including depression, grief, addiction, self-esteem, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, among other areas of focus.

Jennifer aims to create a space where clients can gain clearer self-awareness, strengthen communication skills, and practice new behaviors informed by both neuroscience and therapy techniques. She invites individuals seeking thoughtful, skills-based work to consider a process of exploration and growth together.

Integrating evidence-based approaches for online care

Jennifer incorporates Internal Family Systems as a way to help clients notice and work with the different parts of their inner experience, supporting exploration of how those parts influence emotions and behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to highlight patterns in relationship dynamics and to strengthen a sense of connection and safety in interpersonal life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete skills for identifying unhelpful thoughts and building new behavioral habits that reduce distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider symptoms, goals, and personal preferences, and may blend methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs rather than imposing a single technique from the outset.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible for varied schedules. These options let clients engage in skills practice, check-ins, or longer therapeutic work from different locations, supporting continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
