About Jennifer

Jennifer Dunn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and family concerns, and address parenting challenges. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.

She works with people facing depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Jennifer also helps clients dealing with bipolar disorder and major life transitions. She pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin, attachment wounds, and blended family dynamics.

Jennifer adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps set small, practical goals. Sessions typically include talking things through, learning new ways to respond to conflict, and practicing skills for day-to-day life.

Her additional focuses include fertility and fatherhood issues, abandonment and adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication breakdowns. She also supports people working through divorce, infidelity, guilt, and shame.

People meet with Jennifer in English. She works from a perspective that values respect, sensitivity, and compassion. To get started, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapists availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and improve relationships. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior, then practicing new ways of responding to stress and anxious thoughts. This helps with everyday anxiety, mood shifts, and coping when life feels overwhelming.

Another approach centers on family and relationship dynamics, looking at how interactions and roles affect mood and conflict. This work aims to improve communication, set clearer boundaries, and reduce repeated arguments that strain relationships or parenting.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She starts by listening, then adjusts plans as progress and priorities become clearer.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how she currently meets with clients. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and check in from a convenient location. It can also allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints when that suits a person's needs. Licensed professionals help tailor timing and format to match day-to-day life and goals.
