About Jennifer
Jennifer Vandivort is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Missouri with licenses in both Missouri and Illinois.
Background and approach
She brings three years of experience gained across residential programs, medical settings, and personal case management, supporting people through concerns such as depression, anxiety and panic, substance use, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family challenges, parenting questions, and caregiving stress.
Her background includes work with families navigating difficult dynamics, individuals facing emotional or behavioral diagnoses in their children, and people managing complex medical decisions for aging relatives. Vandivort emphasizes a collaborative approach that begins with understanding each person’s circumstances and goals, then tailoring a treatment plan to fit those needs.
She aims to provide a supportive, compassionate environment where clients can explore stress, self-esteem, addictions, anger, and life transitions while building coping skills. Services also address issues like communication difficulties, control and forgiveness, isolation, life purpose, panic attacks, self-love, women’s concerns, and cancer-related stress.
Sessions are offered in multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.
Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting concern. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and emotion regulation to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression; these strategies help people manage distress in day-to-day situations and develop healthier responses over time. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma, grief, and relationship wounds by creating space to explore difficult experiences and their impact, which can aid recovery and improve interpersonal functioning.Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to identify goals, try suitable techniques, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful for the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy with this practice is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility in how and when people connect. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from home or another convenient location.
