Jennifer Grunewald

Jennifer Grunewald is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 10 years of mental health and substance use disorder work experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, coping with life changes, and attention and concentration concerns. Jennifer speaks English and offers care within Minnesota. Jennifer helps people manage practical problems that block forward motion. She works with those who feel stuck after loss, career shifts, or other life transitions. Sessions involve talking through current difficulties, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes that fit day-to-day life. Her background includes clinical work with substance use issues as well as mood and anxiety concerns. She has working knowledge of Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and uses evidence-based techniques to improve coping and regulation. Her approach is straightforward: name the problem, try tools, and adjust what isn’t working. Therapy often addresses family of origin issues, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with impulsivity, addiction-related struggles, and feelings of isolation or guilt. Life purpose and self-love are listed as areas she can help people examine. Getting started involves a brief matching process and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Jennifer uses evidence-based techniques, including skills drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and other practical methods. DBT skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anxiety, impulsivity, and managing intense reactions. She also applies approaches that target coping with addiction and grief through structured strategies. These methods break larger problems into manageable steps, teach concrete strategies for cravings or overwhelming feelings, and focus on stabilizing daily routines and decision-making. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match the person’s goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. That process may involve trying different tools and checking what actually helps in everyday life. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or school by removing travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when a brief touchpoint is more useful, and phone sessions can use less bandwidth when video is impractical. Licensed professionals can adapt tools for remote work so conversations and practical exercises still move things forward.
