About Jennifer

Jennifer Branin is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah with 13 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and relationship or family concerns. She listens with respect and aims to create practical steps toward change.

Her approach is warm and direct. Jennifer asks about what you want to get from therapy and listens to your story. She offers insight and gently challenges unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so you can move toward clearer goals.

Background and approach

In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage emotions and change patterns. She also uses EMDR to address painful memories and mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational interviewing helps when substance use or other behaviors feel stuck.

Jennifer often works with people coping with grief, compassion fatigue, problems with sleep or eating, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and a wide range of trauma and abuse concerns. She also supports those dealing with first responder or veteran-related stress, process addictions, codependency, and relationship questions including non-monogamy. Her style is practical and supportive.

Sessions involve talking through current problems, practicing new skills, and building daily habits that reinforce progress. She encourages self-care and realistic steps you can take between meetings.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Jennifer commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. EMDR addresses painful memories by processing them in a structured way to reduce their emotional intensity and improve daily functioning.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their reactions and respond more calmly in stressful moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose or combine methods that fit their needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can fit into busy days or lower bandwidth situations, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help people access consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
