Jennifer Cole

Jennifer Cole is an LMSW with eight years of clinical practice based in Michigan. She focuses on helping people heal from past hurts, manage current stress, and move toward a more satisfying future. Jennifer invites people to take a first step and walks alongside them as they try new ways of coping and relating to themselves.

Her work centers on Trauma-Focused Therapy and attachment concerns, paired with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions tend to be conversational and client-directed, with attention to immediate problems like anxiety, depression, or overwhelming life changes. She also supports exploration of identity and relationship patterns when those issues come up.

Jennifer often helps people dealing with grief, addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of infertility or loss. She also addresses concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the effects of adoption or abandonment on self-worth. Her approach aims to reduce shame and build manageable steps toward relief.

People who prefer a collaborative, empathetic listener may find her style a good fit. She emphasizes practical strategies for daily life alongside deeper work on attachment and trauma. Prospective clients are encouraged to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided according to local licensing and practice details in Michigan. Jennifer does not accept international clients.

How trauma-informed and attachment work translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the impact of past harm and teaching skills to manage strong emotions. It often includes paced work on memories and present-day triggers, and can help with anxiety, flashbacks, and overwhelm.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeated ways of relating and try new, healthier responses in relationships and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, explain possible approaches, and together decide what feels most useful. That shared planning helps shape each session and adjustments over time.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the commute for an appointment during a work break. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic techniques over video or phone when those formats are available, helping clients practice coping skills and work through trauma-related material in ways that fit their everyday life.
