She has three years of clinical licensure and more than a decade of work in mental health settings, including case management and acute care therapy. Jenny focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and related concerns. Her training includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas. She has worked in residential care for children, an intensive outpatient substance use program, and in acute mental health settings. That background shapes a practical, down-to-earth approach to care. In sessions she centers each person's strengths and goals. She uses clear, concrete skills and talks through changes step by step. Jenny draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused tools, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness to help people reduce distress and build routines that work. She pays close attention to a person's environment and social supports. That means looking at relationships, living situations, work, and community resources as part of the work. Jenny also has experience supporting people with chronic illness, disability, identity concerns, and a wide range of mood and trauma-related issues. People who reach out can expect straightforward coaching, skill practice, and collaborative planning. The focus is on making progress that fits daily life, not on jargon or lengthy theory. Jenny aims to be a steady, practical guide as clients take steps toward feeling better.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist creates a supportive space and helps the person set and move toward their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses clear strategies to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has helped before, and how you prefer to work. From that conversation she and the client choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use skills practice and tools between meetings, so therapy can connect directly to everyday life.
