Jennifer Ouellet, LMHC

Jennifer Ouellet is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 25 years of experience and a steady, respectful presence to sessions. Her focus includes addictions, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and related life stresses. Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring the work to each person. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to you. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports people making difficult changes, such as with drug and alcohol addiction. Jennifer often helps people cope with compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. She also addresses guilt and shame, infidelity, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Aging and geriatric issues, first responder stress, and challenges faced by young adults are also noted areas of focus. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused when that fits. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, doable steps toward better functioning. Conversations also cover building self-love, improving communication, and managing anger. She emphasizes a collaborative relationship where people set the pace. The work is adapted to each person’s needs, goals, and life circumstances. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters most, and builds a supportive relationship. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and understood.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors are connected and teaches practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that maintain substance use or low mood. CBT often includes small homework steps people can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will collaborate with you to pick methods that match your goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That might mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needs change.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people access support from home or during a work break without changing who they are working with.
