About Jennifer

Jennifer Gleizer is a California-licensed therapist (LMFT) who supports people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 15 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical, evidence-informed tools to help clients address concerns such as communication problems, infidelity, caregiver stress, codependency, and struggles with self-worth. Her work often centers on helping clients clarify goals, rebuild connections, and find steadier ways to cope when circumstances feel overwhelming.

She brings a respectful, compassionate stance to each therapeutic relationship and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs. Jennifer integrates approaches including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques to create flexible pathways for change.

Whether addressing family of origin issues, addiction concerns, or questions about life purpose and self-love, she emphasizes collaborative planning and practical steps toward healthier patterns. Clients can expect a personalized process that honors their experience while offering structured strategies and reflective exploration.

Jennifer welcomes those ready to take the next step toward growth and greater well-being, providing steady support as they pursue clearer priorities and improved functioning.

Integrating proven approaches for online care

Jennifer draws from Internal Family Systems to help people notice and relate to different parts of themselves, facilitating greater internal cooperation and relief from patterns like shame or self-criticism. This approach can be useful for clients working through identity conflicts, guilt, or persistent emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, stress, and substance-related urges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer works with clients to explore what aligns with their goals, preferences, and the particular challenges they bring, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit for progress and comfort.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while maintaining continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical.
