About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jenny" Nelson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, mood shifts, grief, or big life changes. She presents a calm, direct style and aims to make therapy practical and approachable for people who want clear steps to cope and feel more steady.
Jenny is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, and she keeps language simple and focused on what happens in sessions. Jenny uses straightforward tools to help people manage emotions and build skills.
Background and approach
She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered methods. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying new coping strategies, and practicing small changes that fit day-to-day life. Her experience includes work with autism and Asperger syndrome and with people who have intellectual disability, alongside addressing common concerns like depression, bipolar mood changes, ADHD, and trauma.
She combines practical skill-building with attention to each person’s strengths and context. Jenny emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and she helps pick techniques that match those goals. People who choose her can expect a respectful, steady presence and clear next steps after sessions.
She works with evidence-based methods and adjusts them to suit each person’s needs. The focus is always on usable tools and gradual progress rather than labels or complicated language. Jenny is based in Indiana and holds LCSW credential IN LCSW 34007775A.
She provides sessions in English and accepts international clients when arrangements allow. Follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first visit.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s concerns, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set goals. This approach helps people feel heard and guides collaborative problem solving.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions typically include noticing unhelpful thought patterns and learning small experiments or exercises to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stressors.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. It often uses step-by-step practice of breathing, grounding, and communication techniques that can be used in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose techniques and adjust them over time to fit the person’s life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use tools in real time between sessions. Licensed professionals can deliver the same skill-building methods remotely, allowing steady progress without travel.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
