About Jennifer
Jennifer Hamilton is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky with 27 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, and depression. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Her approach is collaborative and curious. Jennifer tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs. She invites whoever wishes to include their faith in sessions and follows the client’s lead on that.
Background and approach
She uses several practical methods in therapy. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one option she offers for working through traumatic memories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based techniques help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
Jennifer also draws on tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation and Motivational Interviewing to support change. She has experience addressing insomnia and other sleep concerns with behavioral strategies. Veterans and people diagnosed with personality disorders are listed among areas she has worked with.
She listens without judging and helps people set goals, try new skills, and track small steps forward. To begin, a person would use the site’s Start Therapy process, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule a session. Jennifer works by phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.
Therapeutic tools that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and depression because it focuses on practical steps a person can try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them; adapted protocols can be used in remote work to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation exercises that can be practiced during and after live sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and skill coaching. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a session fits into a short break. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, written exercises, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make consistent therapy more convenient and easier to fit into everyday life.
