Jennifer Scott, LICSW, LCSW

Jennifer Scott is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She is listed in the Supporting carers directory and often supports people facing caregiver stress and related strains. Her approach aims to be friendly, respectful, and nonjudgmental so people feel heard from the first visit.

Jennifer uses a trauma-informed perspective and centers the person in each session. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client’s priorities and build on existing strengths. Mindfulness practices are used to help with emotional regulation and grounding during difficult moments.

Solution-focused techniques are included to set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions. Trauma-focused work is offered when past events are getting in the way of daily life, with careful pacing and attention to what each person can manage. Jennifer adapts conversation and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

She also helps people dealing with chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and women’s issues. Sessions emphasize practical tools alongside exploring feelings and values. The overall aim is to help people move toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

Jennifer practices in Maine and works in English. To begin, readers will follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered work means sessions focus on what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens for priorities, and helps build on strengths to address stress, grief, or caregiver strain.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These skills can help with anxiety, pain management, and grounding during moments of overwhelm.

Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical steps toward clear goals. This approach is useful when someone wants short-term plans for managing daily life or measuring progress between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, and then collaborate on an approach that fits the client’s situation.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online and in-person options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, and check in during a work break. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better fits their needs. Licensed professionals can adapt practices like mindfulness exercises and solution-focused planning to work well in remote appointments.
