Jennie Harvat

Jennie Harvat is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD, and lists life purpose among her focus areas. Jennie helps clients who feel stuck after big changes and those who want clearer emotion regulation skills.

Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with attention to body-centered practices. She often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also integrates gentle mind-body tools and may offer individualized suggestions for supportive herbal remedies when appropriate.

Sessions tend to be direct and practical. Jennie aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new coping skills, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. She speaks plainly about boundaries, communication, and strategies for reducing anxiety and panic.

Her background includes a decade working with trauma survivors and people connected to military life. That experience informs how she addresses attachment concerns, abandonment, guilt, shame, and recovery from post-traumatic stress.

People who come with questions about career direction, meaning, or life purpose will find work that focuses on concrete next steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Jennie frequently uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. DBT skills focus on concrete practices for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication.

She also incorporates gentle mind-body practices that support grounding and stress reduction. These techniques can include breathing exercises, movement-based grounding, and sound-based approaches intended to lower arousal and help with anxiety and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennie will collaborate with each client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The process may include trying different skills and adjusting the plan as progress is assessed.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from scheduling. Discuss format and scheduling details during the matching questionnaire and when arranging the first session.
