About Jennifer

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with 19 years of experience, Jennifer Mcminn focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. She works with adults who are managing mood disorders, addictive behaviors, and the aftermath of traumatic events. Sessions are conducted in English.

Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She talks through practical coping strategies and helps people notice patterns in relationships and behavior that contribute to distress. The aim is to make changes that fit into ordinary life.

Her work includes attention to attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with first responder issues, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and HIV/AIDS related challenges. Jennifer addresses co-morbidity and disruptive mood dysregulation when these affect a person’s functioning.

She emphasizes straightforward skills practice and problem-focused discussion. That can include short-term approaches to reduce acute distress and longer work on improving mood and relationships. People leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location. International clients are not accepted. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom reduction. One approach centers on teaching coping tools and behavioral strategies to manage anxiety and mood problems, with step-by-step practices people can use between sessions. Another approach focuses on addressing addictive behaviors by identifying triggers, building alternative responses, and supporting relapse prevention planning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review problems, goals, and preferences and then recommend which techniques to try first. Clients and the therapist check progress and adapt methods over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, require less travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short update is needed. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when video is difficult, or schedule appointments outside typical office hours to accommodate work or caregiving demands.
