About Jenay

Jenay Singletary is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people through relationship and family concerns. She centers work on improving communication, building self-esteem, and steering through life changes. Her style is collaborative and practical, aimed at everyday problems parents and family members face.

She speaks English and practices in Virginia. Jenay uses evidence-based techniques to help clients notice strengths and practice new ways of relating. Sessions often include skills for clearer communication and steps to regain a sense of purpose.

Background and approach

She guides people toward kinder self-talk and healthier patterns within their family roles. Her background includes four years of clinical experience as an LPC. That time has involved supporting people with relationship challenges, parenting questions, and transitions that shift family routines.

She emphasizes real changes that fit into busy lives. In the therapy room she listens for what matters most and breaks goals into small, doable steps. She pairs practical tools with conversations about values and priorities.

The result is a plan that feels relevant and sustainable for daily life. Jenay aims to create an affirming space where clients can learn new skills without judgment. People leave sessions with specific communication strategies, clearer priorities, and ways to care for themselves while managing family responsibilities.

How practical approaches work online

Jenay draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and small changes. One common approach emphasizes communication skills training, teaching concrete ways to express needs, listen actively, and reduce conflict. This is useful when family conversations feel stuck or arguments keep repeating.

Another approach centers on building self-compassion and self-esteem by changing unhelpful self-talk and practicing new habits. This method helps when people struggle with confidence, parenting stress, or finding life purpose. Both approaches break larger goals into short exercises that can be used between sessions.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps match methods to each person’s needs and daily life demands.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These formats make it easier to attend from home, manage childcare, or fit therapy into workdays. They also allow follow-up between sessions through messaging, so practical skills can be practiced and reviewed as life unfolds.
