More about me

Licensing: MSW, LCSW Years in Practice: 6 State: Indiana

Hello! I'm Jenny, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Since graduating from IU School of Social work in 2011, my focus has mostly been on those with intellectual disabilities and mental health issues. I have worked with several individuals on the Autism spectrum, as well as individuals with Down's Syndrome, ADHD, Bi-polar disorder, GAD, among others. I have worked as a behavior therapist for the past 8 years and am looking to continue to help others through additional platforms.

I believe it is important to focus on the individual and determine what works best for each person. I tend to focus more on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as well as utilizing a strength based approach. Overall, I would say I utilize an individualized eclectic approach.

Reaching out for help is an incredible sign of strength and I applaud you for making that first step. If you would like me to assist you on that path, feel free to contact me.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Jenny takes the time to listen, to make a person feel heard. She listens very well, takes in everything you confide in her with, and comes up with great solutions to the problems people face.

Overall

Jenny has been working with me for about a year now. I was always very shy to the use of talk therapy, often left with feelings of not being heard by others. Jenny is the absolute opposite of that, she takes time to let me speak openly. Working with Jenny has taught me how to utilize boundary setting, accepting and not accepting certain treatment in different relationships. My confidence has grown, I feel as though I have a better control of my emotions. There have been times that I have been late/ missed my appointments due to emergencies. Jenny never makes me feel poorly for that, she instead asks if I am okay and we proceed. Jenny is exceptional at what she is doing and I always look forward to meeting with her.

Overall

At first when I joined I had another therapist and we didn't mesh well. Jenny listens to my concerns and let's me xhoose the topic for the day and roll with it. I missed our first approach and one last week and she was understanding. She is very sensitive to someone that hasultiple needs. I enjoy her company

Overall

Jenny is a very kind and observant individual. She'll notice a change in my tone or facial expression and respond with kindness. This helps to where I don't try to put the "mask" back on and try to hide my emotions or feelings. I highly recommend Jenny.

Jenny is very compassionate and understanding. She's not judgemental in any way. She always listens and cares about what I have to say. When I think about how grateful I am for how she's helped me these last few months it almost makes me tear up. Thanks Jenny, you're a real one.
