Jennifer "Jenny" Nelson

Jennifer "Jenny" Nelson is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage intense emotions and life changes. She focuses on practical skills for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and mood regulation. Jenny speaks English and works with people in Indiana and with international clients when appropriate.

She uses a straightforward, collaborative style that starts with understanding each person's strengths and daily challenges. Sessions usually include talking through problems, learning coping skills, and practicing ways to handle strong feelings in everyday situations. Jenny emphasizes small, concrete steps that can fit into a busy life.

Her background includes six years of clinical experience and a focus on neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum differences and intellectual disability. That experience informs how she tailors strategies so they match how a person thinks and processes information.

Jenny draws on several evidence-informed methods, including client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She blends these to help people build emotional regulation, plan realistic goals, and respond differently when stress or anger arises.

People who come for help with relationships, grief, self-esteem, ADHD, or coping with change can expect a practical, steady approach. The work aims to increase resilience and make daily life feel more manageable. To start, she asks about current concerns and what a better day looks like, then sets simple, achievable steps toward that goal.

How therapy methods translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and leads to practical goals that match their values and daily life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches step-by-step strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger over time.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships become strained.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those needs, and adjust the work based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan as therapy continues.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows continuity of care across locations, which benefits people who move or travel. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the current online options before booking. The therapist and client will pick session arrangements that best suit schedules, communication style, and practical needs.
