About Jeffrey
Jeffrey "Jeff" Widenhofer is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. He speaks plainly and aims to make sessions practical and focused on real-life changes. Jeff frames clients as the experts on their own lives and offers steady support while people work through hard moments.
He draws on several well-established methods to match each person's needs. Jeff uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
He employs elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. Attachment-based ideas shape how he looks at relationship patterns and closeness. Client-centered principles guide sessions so each person sets the pace and direction of their work.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people sort out values and take steps that feel meaningful even when emotions are difficult. Jeff has three years of professional experience in clinical settings. He has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, family problems, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to aging or military service.
He tries to keep language clear and actions concrete so people can practice between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule with him based on availability.

Approach and online therapy options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to name their values and take small steps toward them even when emotions are intense; it can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often reduces stress and improves day-to-day functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful when anger or overwhelming feelings get in the way of goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jeff will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. He collaborates with people to adjust techniques over time so sessions stay useful and focused on what matters most to them.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick practice of skills, or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options help people access support without rearranging their whole day.
