Top virtual Alabama therapists and psychiatrists who accept Premera Blue Cross

Helping people is my passion. I am easy to open up to and give individuals a safe place to share their past, present and hopes for the future. We don't all come into this world knowing everything and this is no different. I help people learn skills to transition from a place that may be unknown into a place where self-esteem and self-worth are their companions. Sometimes it is difficult to navigate the bumpy road and that's where I come in and help. Born and raised in Southwest Louisiana, I welcome people into therapy like a cup of coffee on a front porch. When I am not working, I enjoy Cajun cooking and taking care of my family.

My name is Jennifer. I live in Birmingham, Alabama. I obtained my Masters of Science in Counseling in 2007 and Education Specialist degree in Community Agency Counseling in 2009 from Jacksonville State University. In 2021, I completed by PhD from Walden University in Counselor Education and Supervision. My dissertation was on Emotional Support Animals and their utilization. I have over 15 years experience in the counseling field ranging from residential settings, agency counseling, online counseling, in-office counseling, acute settings, and outpatient settings. I have worked with a vast variety of clients ranging from children (age 4) to older adults. I have experience working with individuals experiencing issues with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family issues, relationship issues, career issues, mood disorders, substance abuse, anger management, and other serious mental illnesses. I utilize techniques from the CBT, ACT, reality-based, psychodynamic, and motivational interviewing perspectives. I utilize a person-centered approach which allows each individual to experience personalized counseling experiences that works best for them.

My approach to therapy is to first offer an environment in which the client feels comfortable and secure to share things. I utilize person-centered techniques to treat the whole person and ensure that what is done in therapy is personalized, collaborative, and unique to you as a client.I have compassion for people going through life's challenges and transitions, and feel privileged to work with those who are seeking support. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives and that therapy is a tool used to empower them to use their own strengths to overcome situational obstacles they are facing.

Life has a way of wearing us down—especially when you’ve spent so long showing up for everyone else. Whether you’re navigating a major life change, managing anxiety or depression, or working to untangle relationship patterns that no longer serve you, healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone. With over six years of clinical experience, I help clients reconnect with their voice, reclaim their emotional clarity, and set healthy boundaries without guilt. I use a blend of solution-focused modalities to meet each client where they are, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Narrative Therapy. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally respectful, creating a space where you can be fully seen without judgment. If you’re ready to stop shrinking yourself for others and start honoring your own emotional needs, I’m here to walk with you. Healing begins when you feel safe enough to be seen—and I would be honored to hold that space for you.

I believe that people are born with enormous potential! That being said, sometimes situations occur in our lives which directly or indirectly impact the pace at which we may reach that potential. When people are able to identify at what point they stopped being an author in their lives, they can go back, pick up the pen, and begin re-writing their story. I bring an eclectic approach in moving us forward (EFT, DBT, CBT, among others) in consideration of identified goals. I specialize in aiding individuals/couples with perinatal struggles, including but not limited to infertility, traumatic birth, miscarriage, stillbirth, and post partum anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Moreover, I regularly aid first responders, couples, and other therapists, as well as individuals navigating anxiety/OCD, food addiction, pre/post surgical weight loss intervention (bariatric surgery), depression, emotional regulation, and/or adjustment disorder, among other conditions.

I am a licensed professional counselor and have been working in mental health for over 20 years. I chose to work in mental health because I love seeing positive transitions.

Your journey to better mental health will be a collaborative experience because I am here to help you be successful on your journey towards a more positive state of being and to add an extra layer of support when you need it. I can help individuals with mood disorders, personality disorders, life transitions, trauma or abuse, relationship issues, PTSD, ADHD, and individuals and families dealing with substance use disorders. I am an eclectic counselor, as I use a variety of interventions because I do not believe in "one size fits all" therapy. I will assist you in establishing your goals and work towards achieving those goals so you can become healthier and happier.
