About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jenni" Brooks is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Jenni also supports people coping with trauma, grief, substance concerns, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy and parenting.
Her approach treats the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. She listens to what matters most and helps people try different strategies to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and rebuild confidence.
Jenni has experience working with mood and psychotic disorders, personality disorders, and intellectual disability. She has a background supporting people on the autism spectrum and those facing complicated medical or care needs. That experience shapes how she adjusts pace and expectations in sessions.
In therapy she uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions, sleep better, and make steady changes at work and home. Conversations often include goal-setting, problem-solving, and practicing new responses to stressful situations. Progress is tracked in small, practical steps so clients can notice what shifts.
She offers sessions in English and practices in Illinois. People who want to begin complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jennifer uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on skills people can practice between meetings. One common method teaches emotion regulation and breathing or grounding strategies to reduce anger spikes and anxiety; this helps with sudden frustration and recurring irritability. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and communication skills to address workplace stress and relationship conflict, with role-play and real-world practice to change responses over time.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they try methods and adjust them based on what feels useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Many people find remote sessions fit into busy schedules by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during work breaks, and making it easier to maintain continuity when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments to remote meetings so progress continues between sessions.
