About Jennifer

Jennifer Buer is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California who supports people working through stress, anxiety, family conflicts, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on a decade of clinical experience to help clients explore what matters to them and build practical skills for coping and emotional regulation. Jennifer aims to make the therapeutic process approachable and collaborative, inviting clients to share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Her style centers on creating an open atmosphere where curiosity and respect guide the work. She blends evidence-informed methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, emphasizing clear communication and workable strategies.

Taking that first step can feel challenging, and Jennifer acknowledges the courage involved while helping clients move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

Approaches that guide online sessions and how they help



Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to notice and relate to different parts of themselves with curiosity and compassion, which can clarify internal conflicts and reduce self-criticism. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action, making it useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, empathetic stance from the therapist to foster self-exploration and strengthen the therapeutic alliance.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will test techniques, adjust focus as progress unfolds, and combine elements from different approaches when helpful.

Online therapy in this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and make it possible to access support from home or work while still working with licensed professionals. The variety of session types helps clients choose what feels most comfortable and sustainable for ongoing work.
