Jennifer Froemel

Jennifer Froemel holds to a simple conviction: meaningful change begins when a person is helped to see themselves whole. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based in Oak Park, Illinois, she works from a holistic, systems-based perspective — one that treats each client not as a collection of symptoms but as someone whose identity has many layers, all of them worth understanding.

Jennifer’s approach is behavioral and relational at once. She describes her role as a guide, moving alongside clients through hard stretches until they come out the other side feeling more like themselves and more capable of what daily life demands. Clients often note that her style is warm but purposeful — a supportive nudge rather than a push. She is trained in EMDR, which she draws on especially with trauma survivors. When constant digital input leaves clients too wired to rest, she recognizes the exhausted nervous system behind that as a clinical reality, not a lifestyle complaint.

Her caseload spans children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, abuse and trauma recovery, addictions — including internet and gaming — eating disorders, and career burnout, among other concerns. She offers both in-person and online sessions.
