Jennifer Perry

Jennifer Perry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Jennifer also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps people facing midlife questions and shifts.

Jennifer uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than a single method. In sessions she and the client look at what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and which practical skills might reduce distress. She aims to help people develop concrete strategies for everyday problems like overwhelming anxiety or persistent low mood.

Her background includes work in behavioral health hospitals, emergency rooms, medical floors, and outpatient programs. For over a decade she served as lead counselor at a large behavioral health hospital in Georgia and supervised other counselors during that time. She also completed two degrees at the University of Georgia and took part in psychopharmacology research there.

In therapy with Jennifer people can expect straightforward conversation about goals and a plan that reflects their needs. That plan may include learning communication approaches, coping techniques for grief or anxiety, and steps to address life transitions. Sessions are practical and focused on the problems people bring.

If someone is unsure what comes next in work or life, Jennifer helps them clarify options and test small changes. She encourages gradual adjustments and skill-building rather than dramatic promises.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Jennifer draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. Cognitive approaches look at patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or depression and teach methods to test and adjust those thoughts. Behavioral techniques focus on changing activity patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce avoidance and increase positive routine.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jennifer will talk with clients about their goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adapt methods based on what helps most. This collaborative process means techniques can shift over time as needs and priorities change.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for more frequent check-ins when that helps. Some formats work better for brief check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera, while others support deeper therapeutic work and longer sessions. Ask about the available options when you schedule to match session style with your daily life.
