Jennifer Emerson, LMFT

Jennifer Emerson is a Vermont LMFT with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around relationship, trauma and abuse, parenting, anxiety, depression, anger, and related life stresses. Jennifer draws on long experience with early parent-child relationships and supports people facing difficult transitions and everyday strain.

She trained with a Master of Science in Counseling and has worked across community and clinical settings since 2003. That background includes focused work with perinatal women and families with children ages 0–5, and years supporting parents and caregivers. Her own experience as a full-time working parent of a neurodivergent child informs her practical perspective.

In sessions she uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered conversation, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. She also incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when useful. The approach emphasizes clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and building more satisfying connections with others.

Jennifer helps people notice the patterns that feed recurring anger or frustration. She aims to make skills concrete - for example, recognizing triggers, practicing tolerable ways to respond, and repairing interaction after a blow-up. Work often includes looking at how past attachment experiences shape current reactions.
