About Jennifer
Jennifer Stratton is a licensed professional counselor with experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and mood challenges. She holds LPC-MH and LMHC credentials and practices with a focus on practical coping skills and steady support.

She helps people who face impulsivity, isolation, or feelings of shame. Jennifer often supports those dealing with caregiver strain, first responder stress, and substance concerns.
Background and approach
She also assists people with parenting strain, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Jennifer pays attention to how trauma and abuse shape everyday life. She uses approaches grounded in research to help people build resilience and healthier routines.
Sessions focus on concrete strategies such as managing overwhelming emotions and spotting unhelpful patterns. People who work with her can expect a collaborative style. She listens for what matters most and adjusts the pace to each person’s needs.
That includes setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress together. Her practice covers mood disorders, ADHD, and issues like codependency, guilt, and forgiveness. Jennifer works with clients across Minnesota and nearby states and conducts sessions in English.
She brings five years of clinical experience to each conversation.
How evidence-based techniques meet online care
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people notice thought patterns and try different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood; it emphasizes simple exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach centers on building emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage impulsivity, anger, and overwhelming feelings, often using short, step-by-step practices that are easy to rehearse in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, needs, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will recommend methods and adapt them as progress is made so the plan fits the person, not the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow fuller conversational work and visual cues, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers shorter written interactions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice new skills between meetings.
