She has three years of clinical licensing experience and over a decade working in mental health roles such as case management and acute care therapy. She completed a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas in 2019 and brings that background into each session.

Jenny uses a collaborative, person-focused style. She listens for strengths and practical resources clients already have. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that fit each person’s daily life. She frames therapy as guidance rather than directive instruction.

Her clinical background includes work in acute care settings, children’s residential care, and intensive outpatient substance use programs. That range informs how she helps people deal with stress, mood concerns, addiction challenges, grief, and trauma. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, and disability.

Jenny draws on a mix of approaches to match client needs, including cognitive behavioral ideas, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, dialectical skills, and mindfulness practices. She pays attention to social supports and environmental factors when planning care. Many clients use these approaches to manage anxiety, depression, bipolar mood symptoms, obsessive thoughts, and panic.

She has experience with LGBTQ+ clients and people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Jenny emphasizes nonjudgmental care and aims to help people use their own strengths to reach practical changes. To begin, she helps clients set simple, realistic goals and builds on small successes.

How Jenny’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client’s own goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps people use their own strengths to make changes; this can be useful for stress, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD-type concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help when anger, mood swings, or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
