Jennifer Teague, LPC

Jennifer Teague, LPC brings a practical, down-to-earth style to therapy. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and other concerns like grief, depression, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and coping with life changes. She listens first, then works with each person to find useful steps forward. Jennifer earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Dallas Baptist University and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential (LPC) originally issued in Texas. She has worked in mental health since the late 1990s and has about 15 years of experience in clinical settings and one-on-one work. That background shaped her interest in personal, collaborative therapy. Her sessions often use client-centered conversation to understand what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on cognitive behavioral methods to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. In practice she keeps things relaxed and straightforward. She aims to help people identify small, realistic changes that add up over time. Expect clear discussion, practical exercises, and follow-up ideas to try between sessions. Outside of work she enjoys audiobooks, road trips, football, and time with her husband and pets. That personal side informs a warm, approachable style in sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with the person's priorities and experiences. The therapist listens closely, asks questions, and helps the person name what matters most and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It uses short exercises and practice outside sessions to change thinking and behavior patterns that fuel stress and anxiety. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to notice thoughts and body sensations without reacting. These practices can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood by creating space between feeling and response. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family, or other commitments and can allow shorter check-ins when needed or audio-only options when bandwidth is limited. Ask about current session options when you start the matching process to choose what suits your routine.
