Jenna Auxier

Jenna Auxier is an LCSW practicing in Kentucky who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use between sessions. Jenna emphasizes a collaborative approach and aims to build a working relationship early on.

She begins by asking questions during the first sessions to understand what matters most to each person. That early work is used to create a shared plan of goals and steps. Jenna draws on several methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques, choosing what fits each person's needs.

Sessions are described as team-based. Jenna guides and teaches tools clients can practice outside therapy. She encourages people to take part in setting goals so the plan feels useful and doable. The pace and focus are adjusted to each person's situation.

Her background includes nine years of experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma and crisis, and related concerns such as caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. Jenna also supports people dealing with grief, questions about life purpose, and struggles with self-esteem.

People who value straightforward conversation and practical strategies may find her approach helpful. Jenna aims to create a respectful space to talk through hard moments and to develop small, usable steps toward change.

How Jenna Uses Practical Approaches in Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person guide the work. This approach is useful when someone wants a collaborative space to sort priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Jenna uses CBT-style tools to help people notice patterns and try small behavioral changes to reduce distress. This can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and anger management.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness. These techniques can support coping with stress and strong emotions between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to make decisions together so the plan feels realistic and helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt the same practical exercises used in person to an online setting, helping people practice tools and track progress over time.
