Getting to know Jennifer Linerud
Hi there, I'm Jennifer!
I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in North Idaho, providing telehealth services in Washington and Idaho. I primarily work with individuals who have suffered a loss. Specializing in grief therapy, I can provide the specific tools you need to process your loss?of any type?and find your new normal.
My approach
My approach is trauma-informed, neuroscience-based, and resilience-focused, using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness work. That means I can help you partner with your brain to better cope. The way our brains process a traumatic event is influenced by our past experiences. We can explore that impact and use relevant tools to help you move from survival mode to thriving again.
My focus
My clients are typically facing life-changing grief from any sort of loss, most often the loss of a loved one. Grieving can feel overwhelming, often marked by deep sadness, confusion, anger, and even guilt. Navigating daily life may be challenging because grief can manifest physically and emotionally, impacting relationships, work, and overall well-being. I offer healthy coping tools to manage the complex emotions of grief and guide my clients in finding meaning in their loss.
My communication style
My communication style is gently directed with a heap of empathy. I infuse humor appropriately to lighten heavy situations. Clients have told me they enjoy talking with me and find it easy to open up.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have always had a passion for helping lighten the load for others. I earned my Master?s in Social Work from Eastern Washington University, which has given me the foundation to work across mental health, medical, and educational systems. My passion for grief work comes from my own experience as a bereaved parent and the professional work I?ve done studying trauma and grief. Sharing hope with others is part of making meaning of tragic loss. This is so much more than a career.
