Jennifer Haskett , LMFT

Jennifer Haskett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who approaches change with practicality and compassion. She encourages people who feel stuck to try different, intentional steps toward better outcomes and partners with individuals and families to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Jennifer draws on proven therapeutic methods while treating each person as a whole rather than focusing only on the presenting issue.

Her clinical work has centered largely on youth and their families, with particular attention to parenting skills, relationship dynamics, addictions, and trauma. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with principles from Bowenian family systems to help clients understand thinking patterns, emotional responses, and relational roles that affect everyday life. This blend supports work on depression, anxiety, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, and career-related stress.

Outside of practice, Jennifer has been married for 16 years and is a parent to an eleven-year-old. She and her family enjoy camping and trips to the beach when time allows. Her style balances practical tools with an understanding of family context, aiming to help people move forward with clearer choices and steadier relationships.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. This approach offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related reactions by teaching skills for shifting thoughts and experimenting with different behaviors.

She also draws on Bowenian family systems ideas to explore how family roles, communication patterns, and generational relationships influence current problems. This perspective can be especially useful for work with parenting challenges, relationship conflicts, and intergenerational patterns of addiction or trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together - Jennifer collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Jennifer includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or other convenient locations. These options give flexibility in how and when to engage in therapy while maintaining the therapeutic connection with a licensed professional.
