Jennifer Grunewald , LPCC

Jennifer Grunewald is a Minnesota-licensed mental health professional with 10 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, grief, and life transitions. As an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - she brings clinical training and practical experience to help clients address concentration and memory challenges, ADHD-related struggles, and the difficult emotions that come with loss and change.

She has a working knowledge of DBT skills and applies evidence-based techniques to help people develop coping strategies, emotional regulation, and improved problem-solving. Jennifer aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly and build the skills needed for more satisfying daily functioning.

Recognizing how brave it is to seek support, she focuses on empowerment and collaboration, meeting clients where they are and working with them toward achievable goals. Her practice emphasizes practical tools and steady support for those navigating addiction recovery, grief, anxiety, attention difficulties, and major life adjustments.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer incorporates DBT skills - practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - to help clients manage intense feelings, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve relationships. She combines these DBT-informed tools with other evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on building coping skills for anxiety, addiction recovery, and grief so clients gain concrete methods to navigate daily challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, adjusting techniques over time so therapy aligns with the client’s needs and life circumstances. The focus is on partnership and gradual skill-building rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Online sessions allow flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can access support that fits their schedule and comfort level. This variety makes it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage time constraints, and choose the format that best supports therapeutic progress.
