About Jenay
Jenay Williams is a licensed social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people handle stress and life change. She holds an AL LICSW and has nine years of clinical experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. She combines several approaches to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed method.
Sessions often focus on clear goals, learning new skills, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.
How Jenay works
Jenay emphasizes straightforward tools people can use between sessions to manage mood and reactions. Her work frequently addresses family-related concerns such as communication problems, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She also helps people coping with chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and first responder stress.
Career strain, commitment worries, and relationship struggles are common topics in her practice. Jenay draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques. These approaches support work on values, coping skills, emotion regulation, and motivation to change.
She adapts interventions to each person's pace and goals. Sessions are offered to people located in Alabama and are conducted in English. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support options
Approach-driven care delivered online
Jenay often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing life transitions.She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, and building practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jenay will listen to a person's goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress or needs change. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to accomplish.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video is good for longer therapy work and visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
