About Jennifer
Jennifer Grunewald is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 10 years of mental health and substance use work experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, life changes, and concentration challenges such as ADHD. Jennifer also lists work with guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and draws on experience with substance use disorder care. Sessions are straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on the immediate problems someone brings and on small, usable steps they can try between meetings.
Jennifer mentions working knowledge of DBT skills and often includes skills practice when it fits the concern. That can mean learning ways to manage strong emotions, reduce impulsivity, or improve focus. She also addresses family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and struggles related to caregiving and blended families.
In sessions she encourages open sharing of thoughts and feelings without judgment and supports clients as they consider change. Work often covers coping with loss, forgiveness, isolation, and finding purpose or more self-acceptance. Practical strategies and skill building are offered alongside talk therapy.
People who come for help with addiction, drug and alcohol problems, or with grief and life transitions find that the work balances problem-solving with emotional support. Before booking, confirm current session options and any logistical details with the service's intake process.
Practical approaches and online sessions
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and mentions familiarity with DBT skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills teach concrete ways to handle intense emotions, reduce impulsive actions, and improve distress tolerance. That can help when guilt or shame feels overwhelming and leads to reactive behavior.She also draws on general evidence-based methods that focus on practical problem solving and skills practice. These approaches break larger problems into smaller steps and aim to build routines or habits that reduce stress and support concentration. They are often helpful for anxiety, ADHD-related concentration issues, and managing addictive behaviors.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion can include trying different skills and adjusting the plan over time based on what helps.
