Jennifer Kordell

Jennifer Kordell is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who emphasizes a person-centered way of working. She keeps sessions warm, direct, and patient, meeting people where they are. Jennifer focuses on listening first and helping clients move toward goals at a comfortable pace.

She uses a person-centered foundation alongside approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means conversations focus on current concerns and practical steps. Jennifer encourages building on strengths rather than pushing big changes before someone is ready.

Her clinical background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and three years of post-licensure practice in Minnesota as an LICSW. She has significant experience supporting people who struggle with depression and anxiety and has worked with diverse cultural backgrounds.

Jennifer regularly supports issues such as stress, grief, self-esteem, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also works with body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, and related areas.

Sessions tend to fit into weekday evenings when she is most available. The enrollment process uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and the first step is a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s needs and priorities. Online conversations let the therapist follow your pace and focus on what matters most right now. This approach is useful when someone wants to build confidence, name goals, and move forward gradually.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In remote sessions CBT can provide clear, practical tools for stress, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, and it can be taught in short, focused lessons during appointments.

Finding the right method is a shared process. Jennifer will work collaboratively to pick an approach that fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what helps in day-to-day life rather than insisting on one fixed method.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around evenings and busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with her during the matching step about which session length and rhythm will work best for you.
