Jennifer Lawrence , LPC

Jennifer Lawrence is a licensed professional counselor who grew up in rural Virginia surrounded by a supportive community. From an early age she was known as a helper, and that impulse to support others has shaped a career working with youth, adults, and families across educational settings and a residential treatment facility.

She brings a person-centered stance to counseling, combining elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed techniques to tailor support to each individual. She approaches each client with the belief that people are the experts on their own lives and aims to help them clarify goals, recognize their motivation, learn practical steps, and build momentum along their journey.

Her academic background includes an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration, and a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling. She also holds a Certification in Rehabilitation Counseling, which focuses on working with people who have chronic illnesses and disabilities. In addition to her clinical work, she enjoys kettlebell workouts, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

She values the reach of virtual care and is enthusiastic about offering services in a remote setting that can support meaningful change and growth for clients.

Therapeutic Approaches for Virtual Care

Jennifer Lawrence integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client drives goals and decisions, which can be helpful for self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depression and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports people who are ambivalent about change, such as those working on addictions, career shifts, or health-related adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts techniques to fit the individual so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, manage scheduling constraints, and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver effective care while tailoring interactions to what works best for the client.
