About Jennifer
Jennifer Jurchenko is a licensed independent clinical social worker with three years of professional experience in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, and career-related stress. Jennifer approaches work in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She starts by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths already present.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Jennifer helps people set small, realistic goals and practices tools they can use between meetings. When grief or past hurt gets in the way of day-to-day life, she helps people name what matters and build coping steps that fit their routine.
For parenting concerns, she supports parents who feel stuck or unsure and works on concrete strategies to reduce stress and improve interactions. Jennifer also helps people who want more confidence or clearer direction at work. Conversations focus on practical changes and habits that make decisions and daily tasks easier.
The pace is adjusted to what each person needs. Her style is warm and direct. She treats people as the experts of their own lives and offers guidance, tools, and encouragement along the way.
To start, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect someone to sessions that fit their needs.

Approaches and online therapy options that fit busy parents
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete coping strategies for stress, confidence, and parenting challenges; these tools are practiced in session and used at home. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people process past hurts at a pace that feels manageable while building safety and stability in daily life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls are useful for longer conversations where nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when someone prefers writing things out. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting and work demands.
