Jennifer Burkhardt
Hi, I'm Jennifer Burkhardt, LPC, PMH-C. I provide virtual counseling for women, with a focus on anxiety and maternal mental health. You may be dealing with anxiety and overthinking, navigating pregnancy or postpartum challenges, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood. I want you to have a place where you can talk openly about what's going on, feel understood, and find practical ways to manage life's challenges.
You spend so much time taking care of everyone else. Let's make space for you, too.
First session
Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what's been going on in your life. We'll discuss what's been feeling difficult, what's brought you to therapy, and what you'd like help with. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to start. It's completely normal to feel nervous or unsure about opening up to someone new. We'll take things at your pace, and together, we'll begin figuring out what you need and how I can help. My hope is that you'll leave feeling heard, a little more comfortable, and with a better idea of what moving forward might look like.
Strengths
I want you to feel comfortable talking with me, just as you would when sitting down over a cup of coffee with someone you trust. You don't have to have the right words or worry about being judged. I'm here to listen, understand, and help you work through what's going on. As we build trust, we'll also look at patterns, talk through different perspectives, and find practical ways to handle the things you're struggling with. My goal is for you to feel heard and supported, while also helping you gain a better understanding of yourself and make changes that feel right for you.
Ideal clients
My ideal clients are women who spend so much time taking care of everyone else that they often forget about themselves. You might be dealing with anxiety or overthinking, adjusting to pregnancy or life after having a baby, or trying to manage all the demands that seem to fall on your shoulders. Maybe everyone sees you as the one who holds it all together, but inside, you're exhausted and wondering how to make things feel different. In our sessions, we'll talk through what's been weighing on you, work on practical ways to manage anxiety and stress, and help you feel more confident in yourself and the decisions you make. You don't have to keep putting yourself last, and you don't have to figure everything out on your own.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect one another. Together, we'll look at patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, worry, or feeling overwhelmed and explore ways to respond differently. I'll help you develop practical skills to manage anxious thoughts, work through challenges, and feel more confident handling situations in your everyday life.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients figure out what they want to change and identify steps they can take to get there. We'll talk about what's already working, the strengths you bring to difficult situations, and what small changes might make a difference. I want to help you recognize what you're capable of and build on that as you work toward your goals.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe it's important to feel comfortable being yourself in therapy. My person-centered approach means I'll meet you with empathy, understanding, and without judgment. You don't have to worry about having all the answers or being told what you should do. I'll listen, help you explore what matters to you, and support you as you figure out what's right for you. As we build trust, we'll work together to help you better understand yourself and move toward the changes you want to make.
