    About Deidre

    Deidre Jenkins is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those working on self-esteem, motivation, career questions, and coping with life changes. Her tone is respectful and straightforward, aimed at people who want practical, doable steps toward feeling better.

    With 17 years of experience practicing in Nevada, she shapes each conversation to match what the client needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that add up over time. She uses practical methods to build confidence and reduce worry rather than long, abstract talks.

    Deidre draws on client-centered methods to create a nonjudgmental space where people feel heard. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when someone wants to find the drive to change habits or make big decisions.

    Her work often addresses relationship communication, blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and infidelity. She also helps with life purpose questions, midlife transitions, money and workplace issues, and concerns specific to women.

    Deidre aims to help clients set realistic steps and practice new skills between sessions. She invites people to start where they are and move forward at a pace that fits their life.

  2. How these approaches guide online sessions

    Many of her in-session techniques come from client-centered work, which focuses on listening and helping people explore their own values and goals. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to think through personal or relationship concerns.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. It is practical for anxiety, low mood, and situations where changing thinking or behavior can ease distress.

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to try something new and build momentum for change. It is useful for decisions about relationships, career moves, or shifting habits that feel stuck.

    Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels achievable for the individual.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively through remote sessions when appropriate.
