About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jenny" Nelson is an LCSW with six years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, mood swings, and difficult life transitions. Jenny also supports people facing ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and questions about self-esteem.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on current problems and workable steps to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning. She pays attention to how a person's strengths and routines can be used to manage strong emotions.
Jenny blends client-centered listening with skills-based practices. That means time is spent both understanding what matters to the person and trying specific techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Homework and short exercises are often part of the work, so skills are practiced outside sessions.
Her background includes work with people on the autism spectrum and with intellectual disability. That experience informs how she explains skills and designs realistic coping strategies for everyday life. The approach aims for clearer thinking and steadier responses rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Jenny helps people set concrete goals such as reducing outbursts, managing workplace frustration, or handling grief in manageable steps. The focus is on small, sustainable changes that build over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. In practice this looks like open conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and clarifies priorities to set goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change thinking and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, and depression because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practices specific techniques between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those tools help when strong feelings escalate and a person needs strategies to calm down, stay grounded, and respond differently in the moment.
Jenny treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs. If something does not help, she adjusts the plan and introduces different tools together.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a workday or family routine easier and can support steady practice of skills between meetings. They also allow brief check-ins or weekly skill sessions without lengthy travel time.
