About
For 25 years, I have served in the counseling field, learning success strategies from other clients and practitioners.
Jennifer Gillette is a Licensed Master Social Worker who is passionate about helping those in physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental distress. She has worked in oncology for over 25 years and works with top-rated health professionals to keep up to date on the latest research. She has extensive experience with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, stress management, PTSD, bipolar disorders, and coping with life transitions. Jennifer assists couples in healing their marriages and families. She also has a Women's Christian Counseling certificate and is open to helping people use their individual spirituality as a way to cope.
Jennifer completed both her BSW and Master of Social Work (MSW) at Wayne State University. In her personal experience, she has been a caregiver to several people in her family with their health issues. Although she takes an individualized approach, she often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and a structured support approach.
Everybody is doing their best in life to not only survive but thrive. Sometimes we need people supporting and encouraging us in a different way for some of the seasons we experience. Jennifer works beside you to help you cope with struggles and challenges. However, she also helps you to find what joy, peace, and the best versions of "you" look like.

My go-to approach for helping people in online therapy is to identify the goal the client would like to achieve. I prefer to use cognitive behavioral therapy because thoughts lead to emotions, and when a person is able to reframe his/her thoughts, it leads to a better emotional outcome.
I teach the following tools in online therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in online therapy when he/she reports that daily living has improved and he/she is closer to achieving said goals.
Clients can supplement their time in online therapy by practicing the tools and strategies provided in sessions.
To prepare for the first online therapy session, a client can clearly identify what their goal for therapy is. I like to ask clients: If therapy were to be successful, how would life be different?
With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
