Jennifer Wiss, LCSW, LICSW

Jennifer Wiss is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and big life transitions such as a midlife crisis. She brings nine years of practice in Washington, Oregon, and Utah and offers steady, practical support for parenting, workplace strain, and issues like addiction or trauma.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas shape goal-setting and keep work practical.

Jennifer believes the person in the room knows their life best. She guides rather than tells, and helps turn small steps into real change. Sessions focus on clear goals that fit daily life and on building skills that can be used between meetings.

Her background includes working in homes, community settings, and schools, and time supporting families involved with the child welfare system. She also supervises clinicians and people working toward licensure, which informs a thoughtful, reflective practice.

People looking for calm, steady guidance for midlife shifts, parenting challenges, relationship strain, or mood concerns will find concrete strategies and collaborative planning. She aims to help clients feel more capable and more at ease in everyday life.

Approaches you can use online

Jennifer frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters most and take small actions that match their values, which can be useful during life transitions and midlife questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching practical strategies to change them, which suits anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to see which methods fit their goals and daily routine. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans based on what the client prefers and needs.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets work continue between in-person visits and supports steady progress during life changes.
