About Jennifer

Dr. Jennifer Outlaw helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of mood and behavior concerns. She also works with people coping with addictions, sleep problems, bipolar disorder, relationship and family strain, eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, and ADHD. Her first aim is to make the work clear and manageable so people know what to expect.

Jennifer uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She emphasizes practical skills that people can try between meetings. Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters most day to day. She blends tools that teach new thinking, emotional regulation, and present-moment awareness.

Her background includes a decade of clinical practice in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. That work included assessment and ongoing counseling for people with severe, persistent conditions as well as those facing shorter-term problems. This range helps her tailor support to where someone is now and where they want to go.

Jennifer holds Licenses as a Licensed Independent Social Worker, a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical/Physician (LISW-CP), and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Certified in Maryland. She practices from Georgia and provides services in English, and she accepts international clients. Practical matters such as cost vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjusting to life changes by focusing on small value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, and insomnia. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge over time.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That teamwork helps match the approach to the client’s needs and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions around work or caregiving schedules. It also supports shorter check-ins and flexible scheduling when needed. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and expectations.
