About Jennifer

Jennifer Pariera is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She commonly supports concerns like depression, panic disorder and panic attacks, relationship strain, and the challenges of parenting. Her tone is warm and direct and she aims to create a calm place to talk through what feels overwhelming.

She uses a collaborative, nonjudgmental style. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Jennifer blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and values-based techniques to help people notice patterns and try different choices.

Jennifer has about 11 years of experience working in clinical settings with a broad range of concerns. That background includes time supporting adults coping with life changes, grief, trauma and issues tied to caregiving and aging. She also has experience with mood disorders and substance concerns.

In a typical session she listens carefully, helps set focused goals, and offers tools that match what someone wants to work on. She uses plain language and aims to make therapy feel approachable rather than technical. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and gentle reflection.

People who reach out are guided through a short matching process to find what fits. Jennifer frames therapy as a partnership where goals and methods are adjusted as progress and needs evolve.

Approaches to anxiety that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when anxiety is present. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings instead of trying to battle them, which can be useful for panic and avoidance.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, listening stance from the therapist so people feel heard and understood. This approach supports building trust and then deciding on goals together.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done collaboratively. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Many people appreciate online work because it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also let someone use skills in real moments at home or during breaks, helping practice coping strategies in everyday life.
