My name is Jennifer O’Grady and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, autism, and intellectual and learning disabilities, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution Focused Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Our first session will be spent getting to know you, processing why you are seeking therapy, and building rapport as we establish a therapeutic relationship. A therapy session with me is a safe place where you control what and when you share. You will also hear about my approach and what you can expect in therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a calm demeanor helping others to feel comfortable and safe. I work well with children and adolescents who experience symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, and/or autism. I have been working with neurodivergent individuals for over 20 years.
