About Jenay
With nine years of experience, she brings steady support for people facing career pressures, chronic health conditions, and family challenges. She helps individuals sort through communication problems, commitment and abandonment concerns, and substance-related issues. Aging and geriatric issues are among the additional areas she addresses when relevant.
Sessions blend talking through problems with skill-building exercises. She draws on therapies that help people change unhelpful thoughts, build emotional skills, and clarify personal values. Clients often work on concrete strategies for coping and small behavior changes that fit daily life.
Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the effects of chronic pain or illness. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and forgiveness while helping them reconnect with what matters to them.
Jenay aims to make therapy straightforward and goal-oriented. People come away with tools they can use outside sessions and clearer steps toward healthier routines and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenay will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts strategies so the approach stays practical and relevant.
Confirm session formats before you book, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue care when dealing with chronic illness or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions to focus on skill practice, values-based planning, or thought work depending on what the person needs.
