01About Jennifer
Jennifer Grunewald is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with ten years of experience in mental health and substance use work. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, grief, big life changes, or challenges with attention and focus.
She writes in plain, direct ways and aims to make therapy feel approachable for someone who is worried and looking for help. She creates a calm space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between appointments. Jennifer encourages small, steady changes rather than sudden overhauls, and she supports clients as they try out new ways of coping. Her background includes work in both mental health and substance use treatment over a decade.
That experience informs how she looks at stress, impulsivity, and patterns that keep people stuck. She also draws on knowledge of skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotional regulation and focus. Jennifer pays attention to how family history, communication habits, and caregiving roles affect daily life.
She helps people untangle guilt, shame, codependency, and isolation, and to find clearer personal goals and self-respect. Many sessions include concrete tools for managing cravings, grief, or attention problems. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Jennifer works with English-speaking adults in Minnesota and offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and routines.

04Online support
Practical approaches and online care
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on measurable skills and everyday improvement. One approach she draws on is dialectical behavior therapy skills, which teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to manage intense feelings and impulsive behavior. Another common focus is substance use coping strategies that help people recognize triggers, build relapse prevention plans, and try safer patterns when cravings arise.Choosing the right method is a team effort. She will work with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find approaches that fit a person’s life and needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to connect between longer sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
