About Jennifer
Dr. Jennifer Gildner describes a therapy style that focuses on turning intention into action. She offers a collaborative but challenging approach and centers sessions on clients' strengths. Mindfulness plays a large role in her work, and she pays attention to how cultural background affects the concerns people bring to therapy.
She uses asynchronous messaging only and does not meet by video or phone. Messages are checked on weekday evenings and not on weekends. She does not complete forms or letters related to mental health therapy such as emotional support animal requests or workers' compensation documentation.
Her process emphasizes finding answers already within the client and converting those insights into practical steps. The therapist frames change as a shared project and offers direct feedback when it helps move someone forward. Sessions focus on building new thoughts and behaviors that support better day-to-day functioning.
Clients come for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, and challenges around self-esteem and body image. She also addresses career stress, sleep and eating difficulties, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue, among other issues.
With 19 years of experience and licensure in California and Washington, she brings long-term practice to her work. People who prefer written exchanges and who do not need paperwork from a therapist will find her format matches their needs. If this approach fits, she invites prospective clients to continue with the intake steps on the site.
