About Jennifer
Jennifer Buer is a licensed therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain that comes with family conflict and life changes. She greets new clients with a calm, nonjudgmental presence and encourages small steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Her approach is warm and practical.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills people can use between visits. She listens for patterns in thoughts, body sensations, and behaviour, then helps people try new responses that feel doable at home.
Background and approach
Jennifer blends somatic awareness with evidence-based talk therapies. That means she pays attention to how emotions show up in the body while also using tools from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral work, and other approaches to shift unhelpful habits. The aim is better coping, not fast fixes.
She keeps language plain and aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative project. Clients set goals and Jennifer offers practices and small experiments tailored to daily life. Progress often comes from tiny changes repeated over time.
Jennifer holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - LMFT - in California. She brings ten years of experience to sessions and focuses on building a steady therapeutic relationship where people can explore struggles and try new ways of responding.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Jennifer uses Somatic Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in ways that fit online formats. Somatic work focuses on noticing body sensations and the physical side of emotions to help interrupt stress and reactivity; this can include simple movement, breath awareness, and grounding exercises you do during sessions. ACT helps people clarify personal values and commit to actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts rather than fight them.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with skills-based CBT strategies, adding somatic exercises, or emphasizing ACT practices over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for guided exercises, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins and support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on learning skills and making steady progress.
