Jennifer Gaumer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of clinical experience in Southern California. She has provided therapy in a variety of settings, including a hospital-based child guidance clinic, a residential treatment center, and a community parenting program for teens in foster care. Jennifer draws on that range of work to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, and other everyday problems.
She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Connecticut and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Clark University. Jennifer also has experience as a forensic interviewer and has supported people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. These roles have given her practical skills for working with trauma, grief, and mood-related concerns.
Jennifer’s counseling style is warm, interactive, and caring. Sessions focus on talking things through, learning specific skills, and practicing new ways of coping. She uses a blend of approaches so sessions adapt to what a person needs in the moment.
Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and acceptance-based work to help people live in line with their values. Jennifer also draws on solution-focused and problem-solving strategies to address immediate challenges like parenting or relationships.
Outside of work she gardens, renovates her home, reads, and spends time at the beach with her husband and two daughters. She welcomes people who want practical tools and steady support while they work through life changes.
