Jennafer Matthews

Jennafer Matthews is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of clinical work based in Wisconsin. She meets people where they are and helps them navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Jennafer aims to make therapy approachable and practical so people can use what they learn day to day.

She centers sessions on a client-centered way of working, treating the person as the expert in their own life while offering guidance and structure. Her style blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with cognitive and mindfulness-based tools to address upsetting memories, negative thought patterns, and intense emotions. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used when practical changes are a priority.

Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable skills. That might mean learning ways to manage anxiety symptoms, trying short mindfulness exercises, or breaking big problems into smaller steps. Jennafer pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, body image concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, and co-occurring mood issues when those come up.

She works with people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s comfort level, and she incorporates gentle humor when it helps move progress.

Jennafer holds a WI LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and communicates in English. She does not accept international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How Jennafer’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Jennafer uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address distressing memories and reactions, helping people process past events and reduce their emotional hold. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions by following the person’s priorities and pace, so the work is shaped around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, step-by-step strategies like thought records and behavioral experiments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jennafer collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match goals, preferences, and daily demands. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan remains practical and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before scheduling, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try mindfulness exercises and CBT tools between meetings, so skills are practiced in real life. Licensed professionals often use these methods to keep therapy focused and actionable while adapting the pace to each individual.
