About me
Welcome! My name is Jennifer Fritz and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my MSW and PhD from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I am licensed in the state of Michigan and have spent several years working with children and teens in middle school and high school.
I have been a social worker for over 25 years, both practicing and teaching. I specialize in many areas including anxiety, depression, relationships, anger, self-esteem, family issues and when working with kids I use a developmental perspective combined with a strength based empowerment approach. I recognize that each child is unique with their own set of needs and will work with them from wherever they need to begin. I am warm, compassionate and patient and will tailor our sessions to create individual goals. This will be a safe space for your child to express feelings and to be who they are without any judgment.
I look forward to working with your child.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Jennifer Fritz. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Dr Fritz was the 4th therapist I've tried through teen counseling, and one I actually feel confident about. I feel like we're actually connecting, and it really feels like she actually cares about what we talk about.
Love her
It has been so heart and life-expanding speaking with Jenny. She has the wisdom of an expert and the magic of a healer. She helped me in many ways that empowered me and made sure that I take the credit for that. I have way more peace and acceptance in my life now, and I feel like I am back on track again.
I had worked with Jenny last year and when I needed to return to therapy for a few issues I was so glad she was able to see me again. I find her to be an excellent listener and supporter but also able to push me when needed. She is easy to talk to and offers very helpful insight. I would highly recommend her!
I’ve been with her for over a year and I would recommend her to anyone. She is very supportive, quick to respond, and has helped me through a lot.
Jenn has been here for me, helping and supporting me through some of the hardest points in my life. I value her advice and feedback immensely.
I've had a great experience, definitely would recommend!
Dr Jenny is a fantastic therapist. She has helped my teen age daughter immensely. I really appreciate her calm way of interaction and her expertise in kids is very evident. I highly recommend her.
Jennifer responded to me in a timely manner when I was experiencing more then I could handle. She read all my messages and journal entries I choose to share and set up a video call the very next day. She listened. That’s what I really needed and she continues to listen and helps me understand my feelings.
Jennifer is empathetic and a fantastic listener. She provides realistic, helpful suggestions for moving forward. She helped me process past events while also teaching strategies for improving future wellness. She listens without judgment, and allowed me to set the pace and direction of sessions, while still providing structure.
Jennifer is knowledgeable and supportive
Jenny has been an incredible help to me and my husband in working through our issues and opening up our lines of communication. She has helped us both to see things from one another’s perspective more and be more understanding of each others needs. She has also helped me individually with some personal issues outside of our marital issues. I can’t recommend her enough, we are so thankful to have found her!
I am extremely happy with Jennifer and teen counseling in general . It’s an amazing organization and very easy to get answers and support
Love it
I chose Jenny because I had read on her previous clients reviews that she was kind, and I needed some kindness in my life at that moment. It has been such a relief to have Jenny there to listen and support me. She believes in me and that way I can believe in me too. Thank you so much Jenny, you are helping me get through a very difficult time.
Jenny is empathic towards the difficulties that I share and she challenges me to use my strengths to reflect on the changes I can make today and the goals I can set for tomorrow. She is honest about helping me figure out what I can do better, and what might be out of my control. This has helped me to not dwell on the failures in the past, but to move towards constructive self-reflection and make changes today that build momentum. Thank you Jenny for all the support and advice!
Dr. Fritz is a fantastic therapist who really listens, offers constructive advice and takes the time to make notes and remember past discussions.
She absolutely should get paid more for being one of the few effective counselors on teen counseling. If teen counseling doesn't already have a system then they must create one so that good counselors like Dr. Frtiz who consistently get great reviews are recognized and compensated adequately for their good work!
I really feel safe and cared for with Jennifer. She is extremely compassionate and nuanced in her approach. I did not have any problems opening up to her whatsoever. She embraced me with open arms from the start of our very first session. This automatically made me feel unhindered in releasing the things I need to in order to heal. I highly recommend Jennifer without any hesitation.
Jennifer is absolutely wonderful.
She is absolutely amazing!
I have spent years searching for the right trauma therapist, and i can’t put into words how happy i am to have finally found Jennifer. She is a compassionate listener who allows me to take the lead in my healing process while guiding me in the proper direction. She gives me the type of support i never knew existed, but i definitely needed all along. I’m so happy to be working with someone as intelligent, kind and caring as Jennifer!
I've had several sessions with Jennifer, both by live chat and video chat. I appreciate that she takes time to hear me, to hear what I'm really saying. She's been accepting of my experiences and encouraging of the progress I've made. It's been such a relief to have someone hear me out and believe my story and tell me what I needed to hear - "You don't have to do this alone". Thank you, Jennifer - you've made so much more of a difference than you'll ever know.
Jennifer has been wonderful to work with. She always responds timely and has very good insight into what I'm trying to say even if I feel like I'm rambling. She has created a very safe space to open up and share my thoughts while offering views on my relationships and childhood that I haven't seen before. I think she has made a huge difference in the day to day of dealing with my stress and anxiety knowing that I have a place to open up and discuss what is challenging me.
Jennifer is very compassionate and understanding. She is very good at what she does, and she’s helped me navigate through a very critical problem in my life. I would definitely recommend her to friends or family any time, as I’ve worked with counselors before but can state that she is definitely someone who will help you and make you consider things you may have not thought about, but should be working through. Basically, she’ll give you what you need to hear. In short, she’s awesome!
I have dreaded counseling since I was very young. I always thought the counselors didn’t have my best interest in mind. Using teen counseling and Jennifer has opened new paths for my journey. It is not only convenient but there is never any pressure about getting help. Thank you for all you do!
Jennifer has been wonderful. She really listens and pays attention to what I say. Therefore, she's able to help me cope with my challenges in life. She made me realized that it's perfectly ok to say no and to not be afraid to set my boundaries.
I am very happy to be assigned to Jennifer Fritz. I wasn't sure how to start or how this could help, but Jennifer quickly spread some confidence and motivation very quickly. I like how counseling with Jennifer is very goal orientated and tangible which is not what i anticipated how talk therapy would be in general. Setting some order and structure about tackling those vague problems in the background that have been there a long time and I am used to ignoring, helps bring about broader changes in all areas of life.
We have been greatly pleased with Jennifers services.
Jenny is a fantastic counsellor. Empathic, knowledgeable, completely non-judgemental, and very easy to talk to. Jenny has a unique capacity to remain impartial while discussing difficult, personal, and sometimes controversial subjects while still being able to offer solid, tailored advice or help scaffold a framework for me to be able to reach my own conclusions. I always feel safe and accepted sharing thoughts with Jenny, and my time with her has helped me crawl out of a very dark, inert place and into a place of more positive thinking and greater productivity. I would recommend time with Jenny to anybody.
When looking for counseling the biggest hurdle for someone who has never done it, is suddenly entrusting your reserved emotions and thoughts to a complete stranger. But with Jennifer, the feet hit the ground and it bolted. We have cruised through a number of issues not necessarily with solutions but with understanding which have brought me peace. It's something you really cant appreciate until you experience it.
Jennifer has been amazing to work with and the light ambiance of the conversation makes for a safe but critical space for thinking about what's best for you.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my counseling with Jennifer.
Jenny has always been there for me promptly & kindly. If I take a break, she always welcomes me back.
I have used Jennifer for a year a few years ago. When I came back she wasn't on my list of people to have as a counselor but teen counseling found her for me and now we are back together!!
Dr. Jenny is truly an exemplary counselor. She is impossibly kind and compassionate and unceasingly patient and supportive. With her unique style and ability, she is able to reach over the barriers of technology and distance. I’m in awe of, and humbled by, her level of dedication and responsiveness that radiates from within her — she genuinely practices from a place that is well above and beyond average practice and she does it in her own professional and experienced way. But what is most reflective of her practice and style, is that there aren’t words to describe how she impacted me by supporting and shielding me through a very difficult time.
Jennifer is a great counselor and a wonderful person. She is very patient, kind and understanding. She is an amazing listener and a great support. She is always here for me and she helped me a lot. Thank you very much, Jenny! You're the best!
Jennifer is a fantastic lady to have on your team during an exceptionally difficult life change!
I feel so confident speaking with Jennifer about my issues. She helped and helps me a lot. She is a very caring and warm person.
My dark times would've stretched on much longer had I been without your patient ear and your objective advice, Jenny. It's been so wonderful to have you part of my life. I can't thank you enough.
Many thanks to Jennifer for helping me to work through multiple crisis issues at once because that’s what life had laid out in front of me. Her emails were timely and focused on me finding my voice and finding my peace. The last 6 months of my life have been hell however this past month with Jennifer’s assistance has seen the packing up of some serious grief and abandonment concerns. I have appreciated her genuine care, concern and sound counsel.
She's a wonderful therapist. She actually listens to what your problems are, rather than give cliché advice like other therapist I've dealt with. She rocks!
I think that Jennifer Fritz is a very understanding professional and I’m glad that I am using her services. She makes it convenient so it is possible for someone like me to have a chance to work on issues that I have.
I think she's amazing. She's helped me a lot, especially brought my spirits up from a place I never want to be again in. I started taking care of myself more. I'm still recovering, it's a work in progress, but it has definitely helped.
Jen has been hugely supportive in my journey. She is non judgemental and through a natural style exchange we are beginning to peel things back. She calms me and helps me feel I am not alone. Thanks Jen! For others out there, I would highly recommend Jen in this capacity.
She is amazing!
For years I have searched for an affordable therapist that I could connect with. At a desperate time in my life I figured I had nothing else to lose by trying online counseling and I was pleasantly surprised. Jennifer has helped me more in one month than I could have ever imagined. And being able to message her and have phone calls was very convenient. Thank you!
She’s wonderfully supportive and very insightful. I feel great when talking to her and she helps me go through the nitty gritty of my life to make sense of it.
I feel that I am able to open up to Jennifer easily which is good as I find it difficult to open up to people.
A lovely, warm spirit with positive advice.
Extremely professional, thoughtful answers, and great advice.
A wonderful person to share you emotions and issues with. I highly recommend her. She is honest and kind and comes from a genuine place of care and support!
I have found Jennifer to be an understanding therapist that has listened and provided constructive help, helping me cope better with my anxiety.
I trust her and she's an amazing counselor who will never stop supporting you and being there for you in your times of need. I appreciate her excellence and professionalism.
Jennifer has been great thus far - she listens well and understands my issues and my goals.
So far I have enjoyed speaking with Jennifer. She is very accommodating of my difficult schedule and makes sure I feel that I am supported or have support if I need to access it. I am new to this type of counselling and so I am not 100% sure it is feeling effective for me yet. I look forward to continued work with Jennifer to see if this service is right for me.
Jennifer has been wonderful and very thoughtful in her responses and her encouragement and support is worth every penny. She helps to put things into perspective and reads every statement with ease. I recommend her whole heartedly. I took to her instantaneously and she’s helped me in such a short period of time, including the trial period. Highly recommend her advice and support.
She is very good and understanding and listens to what I have to say.
Jennifer is very compassionate and energetic, so much so that sessions with her uplift me no matter how down and depressed I am. I highly recommend her. You will be in good hands.
Jennifer has been great helping me sort through some of my issues.
Jenny has an incredible talent for reading between the lines. She asks thoughtful and meaningful questions and shares her insights to help you on your journey. I feel like writing to her is like writing to an old friend - I feel safe, there's no judgement and I truly feel she is an advocate. Thank you, Jenny, it's meant a lot to me!
Just the help I was looking for! Heaven-sent!
Jenn is friendly and above all, an independent voice of support and kindness in the chaos of modern family life and relative pressures Jenn helps me to sort 'the woods from the trees'.
Jennifer has been a wonderful ongoing support through a particularly difficult family relationship. Knowing she's there in times of need has given me much more confidence in my thoughts and actions that I otherwise didn't have.
Jennifer is very kind and supportive. She really works with you to resolve your issues and brings out your best side.
Highly recommend Jennifer Fritz, very patient and understanding...
Jennifer was a great help for me. She is very timely, understanding, and detailed in her responses. This was my first time reaching out for help in any manner, and I had the most positive experience I could have ever imagined. I really felt that Jennifer cared about my well being and wanted to see me improve. It was great to be able to open up to an objective third party about my concerns and would recommend Jennifer to anyone.
Thank you so much for helping me and listening all of my problems and helping to solve them. By talking with you, I find many answers to my questions and start to feel happiness every day.
I really love working with Jennifer. She really offers great solutions.
Jennifer is supportive and responsive, I am grateful for her compassion and guidance, it has helped me tremendously.
Jenny is very caring and patient. She is also proactive about following up with me when I haven't spoken with her in some time.
Jennifer is great. Mindful. Helpful. Easy to talk to.
Jennifer was very easy to talk with. Her responses were prompt and they helped me to start thinking of other more positive things. I appreciate her.
Jennifer has been the guiding light. Her constant help and care has helped me reach the levels of happiness that I needed to find again. I can't recommend her and her work and effort enough. You will absolutely not be disappointed!
Very patient and encouraging!
She's very dedicated. When I get busy and lose track of time, she puts forth the effort to stay up to date with me and initiate conversation. She's also a very compassionate individual who really does want to see you get better, not just line her pockets (an experience I had with my first therapist).
I was not sure what I was looking for when I signed up for counseling. I was in an a dark place and I needed someone to help me emerge from there. Jenn helped me confront and deal with some things that I wouldn`t have without being prompted. She has been compassionate, caring and dedicated. Its not easy, nor a quick fix but she listens and responds in kind. She is compassionate and always checks in on me. Thank you.
Very professional, knowledgable and empathetic.
Very understanding and warm.
Dr. Fritz has been very helpful so far. While I am still in the early stages of my issues - she has been very responsive, compassionate, and provided steady usefull advice.
