Jennifer Fitkin (LCSW)

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah, Colorado, Texas, and Florida, as well as a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Iowa. With over 20 years of experience as a therapist, I bring both depth and diversity to my work. I was first licensed in Iowa and have practiced in Nevada, Utah, and even internationally in Australia. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients and settings—from a girls’ residential treatment facility to community-based programs supporting foster care and juvenile justice youth, and even within a men’s medium-security prison focusing on rehabilitation and reintegration. I’ve served as a therapist, clinical supervisor, deputy senior clinician, and senior clinician, and most recently, as Clinical Director of a residential treatment facility specializing in attachment issues. I earned both my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Social Work from the University of Northern Iowa. In addition to my formal education, I have advanced training in Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Good Lives Model (GLM). My approach to therapy is strengths-based, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing within the GLM framework. I have experience providing therapy with individuals, families, and groups, and I value the opportunity to work with clients from diverse backgrounds. Outside of work, I find balance through travel, hiking, paddleboarding, backpacking, and camping. I’m also a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and strongly believe in the connection between physical health and mental health—advocating for sleep, movement, and nutrition as key components of wellness. Animals hold a special place in my heart as well; my dog Boomer used to join me for in-person sessions in Utah and still makes the occasional guest appearance in telehealth sessions.
