Autumn Jarvis

Autumn Jarvis is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing parenting strain, anger, self-esteem issues, career challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Autumn names autism and Asperger syndrome, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and body image among other focus areas.

She brings 13 years of experience in community mental health, county services, inpatient psychiatric care, Veterans Affairs, and outpatient clinics. Autumn earned a Bachelor of Science in Vocational Rehabilitation and a Master of Social Work, MSW. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and is licensed in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. She creates a nonjudgmental space where people can say what’s on their mind. Sessions focus on practical steps, realistic goals, and finding ways to cope that fit everyday life.

Autumn uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered listening, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and move toward valued goals.

Outside of work she enjoys time with her son and two dogs, running, CrossFit, coffee, reading, and cheering for the Green Bay Packers. She describes therapy as a shared process and offers supportive guidance as people take steps toward change.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, grief, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try methods that seem helpful, and adjust approaches over time. Clients and the therapist work together to find what feels useful rather than following a fixed plan.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It can also allow simpler access to consistent appointments when routines are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness techniques for remote work so the focus stays on practical skills and steady progress.
