About Autumn
Autumn Jarvis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and trauma. She also supports concerns about relationships, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, self-esteem, anger, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Autumn’s tone is straightforward and practical, and she aims to make each session feel understandable and manageable.
Autumn holds a Master of Social Work and carries both a Wisconsin LCSW and a Minnesota LICSW.
Background and approach
She has 13 years of experience across settings such as community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric care, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics. That range means she has seen many different kinds of struggles and practical ways to address them. In sessions she listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them.
She draws on methods like acceptance and commitment work, client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to help people clarify values, change unhelpful patterns, and build coping skills. Autumn is based in Wisconsin and offers a warm, direct style that focuses on small, achievable steps.
She works with adults dealing with complex emotions and life stressors, including caregiving strain and compassion fatigue. Her goal is to support people toward clearer choices and more sustainable routines. Outside of clinical work she enjoys time with her son, her two dogs, running, CrossFit, reading, coffee, and spending time with positive people.
She likes simple comforts like pizza, pickles, olives, and cheese curds, and follows the Green Bay Packers.
Approach and access for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage cravings. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building trust so people can explore what they want to change and how to get there.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. This shared process allows adjustments over time so techniques stay useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity during life changes, and make it easier to attend sessions from different locations.
