About Jennifer Hughes
Jennifer Hughes (she/her) is a trauma-informed therapist who offers a warm, down-to-earth space for adults to explore whatever is happening in their lives. She identifies as queer, neurodivergent - living with ADHD - and feminist, and brings that perspective into a practice focused on empathy, respect, and practical support.
She works with people facing trauma, childhood and family issues, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and patterns of people-pleasing. Jennifer also supports clients who want to better understand how their brains work, develop healthier boundaries, and begin prioritizing their own needs - sometimes for the first time.
Her style is relaxed and compassionate. She meets clients where they are, without judgement, and adapts sessions to what feels most useful in the moment. Jennifer believes each person is the expert on their own life and offers guidance aimed at helping them find clarity, build strength, and gain confidence to move forward as their full, authentic self.
She holds the NCPS credential, which reflects professional training and standards. Taking the step to begin therapy is meaningful, and Jennifer recognizes and supports that courage at every stage of the process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach helps people explore their values, feelings, and choices, and can be useful for those seeking greater self-understanding and stronger boundaries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and patterns like people-pleasing, and helps clients develop concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a paced and compassionate way. It supports recovery from abuse, complex trauma, and related symptoms by helping clients build safety, resilience, and coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jennifer works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the work as those needs evolve. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. For many people, remote options make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support in ways that work for each individual.
