About Jenny

Jenny Javins is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She uses straightforward, practical techniques to support people through life changes and career concerns. Jenny focuses on building resilience and greater self-compassion in everyday life.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice small behavior changes that make a real difference.

How Jenny works

Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to find motivation and direction during difficult transitions. Jenny has six years of experience working with issues like caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps with communication problems, divorce and separation, and struggles with guilt, shame, or self-love.

Her work emphasizes skills that can be tried between sessions so progress continues outside of therapy. Sessions are offered from West Virginia and conducted in English. The first meetings focus on setting clear, achievable goals and on deciding which approaches feel right for the person.

Jenny aims to make each step manageable and grounded in everyday routines. People who reach out will find a calm, steady partner in the process. The focus is practical growth - better ways of coping, clearer thinking, and more kindness toward oneself.

Online support options

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with respect and helping the person set the pace. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process lets the person test what helps and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, asking questions between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
