   About Jennifer

   Jennifer Robart is an LCSW who focuses on helping people name their goals and move toward them. She creates a warm, conversational space where clients can talk honestly and begin making changes. Her approach centers on listening with empathy and following each person’s lead while offering practical tools to manage everyday problems.

   She spent several years supporting people in recovery from substance use between 2018 and 2021. That work exposed her to issues that often come with recovery, such as trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Those experiences inform how she supports people now, especially around addictions and coping with major change.

   Jennifer uses approaches such as motivational interviewing to help people resolve ambivalence about change and set achievable next steps. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and try different responses. Sessions are client-directed and practical, with an emphasis on small, doable steps.

   Her style is nonjudgmental and supportive. Jennifer aims to create a space where clients can be honest about setbacks and small wins alike. She encourages people to recognize their own strengths and to build routines that make daily life more manageable.

   Located in Illinois, Jennifer brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She welcomes straightforward conversations about what someone wants from therapy and how to get there together.

2. How Motivational Interviewing and CBT can help online

   Motivational interviewing is a conversation style that helps people sort out mixed feelings about change. It focuses on the person’s own reasons for change and helps them set small, realistic next steps. This approach can be useful for addictions, ambivalence about recovery, and other areas where motivation feels unclear.
   
   Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions shape feelings. It helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try alternate behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT often includes practical exercises that can be done between sessions.
   
   Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That plan can shift as progress is made and needs change.
   
   Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people access a licensed professional from different locations within the therapist's permitted region.
