Jasmine Penter

Jasmine Penter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Oregon with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Her work also addresses related concerns such as attachment and communication problems, caregiver stress, and issues common to young adults and women.

Jasmine uses a strengths-based approach that centers on practical tools and accountability. She aims to help people clarify next steps and move through difficult decisions. Sessions focus on concrete skills alongside processing painful memories and reactions.

She has training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, approaches she uses when trauma or post-traumatic stress is part of the presenting concern. Jasmine combines these techniques with conversation work for anxiety, grief, and ongoing stress management.

Her background includes twelve years supporting clients through chronic illness, caregiver strain, blended family and family-of-origin issues. She helps people who feel isolated or are struggling after sudden life changes to find manageable coping strategies and clearer priorities.

Jasmine typically works with tweens, teens, young adults and parents or guardians, and with individuals affected by PTSD, depression, grief, or chronic and terminal illness. She encourages practical steps, regular check-ins, and collaborative planning to help people make choices that fit their lives.

Evidence-informed approaches in online sessions

Jasmine brings evidence-based trauma work into her practice, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART uses guided imagery and eye movements to help process distressing memories and reduce emotional intensity, which can help people with trauma-related symptoms and stuck memories.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR). EMDR helps people reprocess traumatic memories so those memories cause less disturbance in daily life. This approach is often used for post-traumatic stress and intense early memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jasmine will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of working with a therapist online include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular check-ins, to have shorter follow-ups, or to avoid travel time.
