   About Jenna

   Jenna Auxier is an LCSW who helps people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and the challenges that come with parenting and caregiving. She also supports people managing life changes, relationship and family concerns, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related struggles. Jenna practices from Kentucky and uses a practical, team-based style in sessions.

   Jenna spends the first meetings getting to know each person and asking questions to understand needs and goals. She invites clients to ask questions and to take part in building a plan. That plan is practical and focused on skills people can use between sessions. Jenna emphasizes a collaborative relationship where both therapist and client are actively involved.

   Her approach draws from several methods, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She picks the strategies that fit each person rather than following one fixed method. Sessions often teach tools for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

   With nine years of experience, Jenna has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and crisis situations. She aims to empower clients to make changes they want and to build momentum toward their goals. Jenna acknowledges how hard it can be to reach out and she supports people through that first step.

   People who choose Jenna can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and practical steps to try between visits. She encourages involvement in treatment planning so goals feel meaningful and doable.

2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person's own reasons for change in a nonjudgmental way. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking steps forward by clarifying values and boosting motivation.
   
   Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports clients in finding their own solutions rather than imposing a plan.
   
   Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress in day-to-day life.
   
   Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jenna will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the approach can shift if needed.
   
   Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether that means shorter check-ins during a break or avoiding travel time. If you want to use online care, confirm which session formats are available before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum and practicing tools learned in therapy between meetings.
