Jennifer Stephens, LPC

Jennifer Stephens, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), holds licenses in Alabama and Oregon and has 22 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, parenting stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, trauma and LGBTQ-related issues. She describes her work as helping people talk through problems, build coping skills, and improve communication in relationships.

Her approach uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions emphasize practical strategies and clear goals. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and track changes between sessions.

Stephens also addresses complex or overlapping issues such as substance and alcohol addiction, codependency, attachment and abandonment wounds, family of origin difficulties, and co-morbid conditions. She works with concerns tied to gender dysphoria, grief after loss, and life transitions such as cancer diagnosis or major role changes.

In sessions she focuses on communication skills, managing strong emotions like anger, and reducing stress through mindful practices. She uses straightforward exercises to increase coping and to rebuild confidence after setbacks. Her practice also includes work on commitment and intimacy issues, forgiveness, and resolving emptiness or low motivation.

Clients are guided toward concrete next steps between appointments. The practice uses a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online therapy options button.
