Jennifer Reynolds
@jenniferreynolds1
Licensed professional counselor and clinical educator specializing in trauma-informed telehealth care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. My practice is grounded in clinical work with individuals, families, and couples, and I bring a strong supervisory and educational perspective to every role.
In my outpatient practice, I serve children (ages 4–12), adolescents, young adults, and adults. I also provide real-time telemental health counseling through video and phone platforms, and I complete emotional support animal and psychiatric service dog assessments to help determine client eligibility.
Beyond direct care, I’ve led program services as a Clinical Director—planning, administering, and evaluating day treatment and outpatient units, and overseeing program coordinators through hiring, training, and performance management. I’ve also supported quality improvement work, including performance measures, documentation compliance, and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data for reporting and planning.
As a Remote/Clinical/Adjunct Faculty member, I amend syllabi, run remote or in-person coursework, grade assignments and discussion posts, and support student development as a “gatekeeper” to the counseling profession. I’ve taught research methods, diagnosis and treatment planning, psychopharmacology, multicultural issues, and practicum/residency courses, and I’ve presented on topics including Emotional Support Animals, self-care, and cultural diversity.
