About Jennifer
Jennifer Maguire is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from New Jersey. She brings 25 years of experience and a warm, interactive style that focuses on listening first. Jennifer aims to help people feel heard while treating them with dignity and respect.
She uses a client-centered approach, meaning the person sets the direction and pace of therapy. Jennifer works from strengths and practical problem solving to build plans that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
She draws on several methods to address worry, mood struggles, trauma, addiction, and issues that get in the way of daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one tool she uses to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills such as mindfulness and emotion regulation are used to reduce distress and improve relationships.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-focused ideas are used when values and relationships are central concerns. Jennifer has helped people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy-related problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
She also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image struggles, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment. Her style is practical and compassionate: she listens, helps people identify strengths, and teaches skills to manage emotions and behaviors. If someone wants a steady, collaborative guide through change, Jennifer offers experienced support and concrete strategies.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, value-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them in daily life to change mood and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around stressful situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, life, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused practices and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and work well for teaching skills and doing exercises together. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good choice for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text allow flexible, brief exchanges or written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue consistent work toward goals.
