About
Jennifer Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who, after more than 23 years in the profession of counseling, still looks forward to teaching a person how to fish. Her approach to counseling is this; Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch a fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. Jennifer will equip you with the skills you need through a cooperative and collaborative relationship that focuses on your strengths that already exist. Her approach is that of a wellness model as she believes most people hold their own answers and solutions to their challenges but simply need a safe place in which to share experiences, improve insight and self-awareness and explore solutions. Jennifer’s favorite part of her job has always been helping people cope with their pain and guiding them through the process as they work through issues. Even better, she gets to witness their transformation as they them come out on the other side so much stronger mentally and confident in their ability to cope. She has often said to clients “I wish you could witness your change from beginning to end in the same way that I can see it.” Jennifer views it as a privilege when people allow her to be a part of their life in the valleys as well as on the mountaintop. She believes there is such gratification in knowing that people come into her office truly feeling that it is a safe environment where they can “come apart” if they need to and they will not be judged, interrupted, or invalidated. Jennifer understands that many times it is that people need that “safe zone” where it is all about them and just “being” with them is hugely therapeutic. She recognizes that everyone has a story. She doesn’t believe in putting clients where SHE thinks they need to be but, rather, in meeting them where they are. She serves as a guide to help you discover your own solutions. Jennifer is comfortable with silence and recognizes sometimes profound therapy can occur when nothing at all is being said. Jennifer believes that she has been honored to see people make huge strides towards being mentally healthy. Jennifer provides individual and couples counseling, serving persons ages 18 and older. Her applications of therapeutic techniques include cognitive, affective, behavioral and systemic approaches. Her areas of specialty include depression, (including post-partum depression), anxiety, stress, unanticipated life events, grief counseling, interpersonal discord, career issues, life transitions and personal/social adjustment. Certified in The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy Certified Mental Health Professional in Collaborative Law – The South Carolina Collaborative Law Institute (SCCLI) Certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 4 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adolescents and adults facing concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, self-esteem challenges, and identity-related stressors. My background includes experience in substance use treatment, where I supported individuals with complex and co-occurring concerns. I also have experience providing family and couples counseling focused on communication and conflict resolution. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and collaborative, recognizing you as the expert on your own life.
I earned my master’s degree in psychology with a concentration in clinical counseling from The Citadel. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma-focused interventions, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and motivational interviewing.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are seeking direction, clarity, or simply someone to walk alongside you during a difficult season, I am here to support your growth and healing. Together, we can work toward meaningful change that aligns with your values and goals, starting with taking the first step to schedule an appointment.

My go-to approach for treating depression is utilizing a mix of CBT and values-based therapy. I feel this approach is beneficial in helping those with depression because it helps individuals evaluate their goals and current thought processes to determine where they need to make changes in order to live a more fulfilled life.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling: cognitive reframing/restructuring, how to identify the signs and symptoms of depression, and how to create your own inventory of hobbies/activities that bring you joy.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they report an improvement in mood and overall seem more excited and hopeful about things.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling by doing activities they love and enjoy, maybe even picking up an old hobby they used to love!
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can think about when you first noticed depression becoming an issue for you, reflect on whether or not you've noticed any triggers that cause these episodes, and tell yourself that you are not alone in your journey.
