About Jennifer
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with nine years of professional experience, Jennifer North helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, and life changes. She also works with people who are questioning life purpose. Jennifer uses practical, evidence-based techniques and a conversational style to help people make clearer choices about their lives.
Jennifer starts by understanding where a person is now and where they want to go. She focuses on the choices people can make and on managing things they cannot change. Sessions draw on cognitive behavioral approaches to identify unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness practices to build present-moment coping skills.
Her work includes elements of dialectical behavioral methods to help regulate emotions and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Ecotherapy principles also appear in her practice, reflecting a background that values time outdoors and nature-based activities.
Jennifer earned a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Interpretation from Prescott College and later a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Ashford University. She completed a Master of Arts in Counseling at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Those steps led her into community and clinical work over the past nine years.
Outside of clinical work she spends free time reading, gardening, and exploring local forests and waterways, often with binoculars. Her earlier years as a park naturalist and kayak guide inform how she brings nature and practical skills into conversations about stress and recovery.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach works well for anxiety, low mood, and managing day-to-day stress. Dialectical behavioral methods are another tool she draws on to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that reduce impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client talk through goals, preferences, and responses to early sessions, then decide together which techniques to emphasize. This collaborative process makes it clearer which methods suit a person's needs and goals.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during work breaks or between other commitments. It also enables shorter check-ins when needed and avoids the need to be on camera for every conversation, depending on the formats offered.
