About Jenny

Jenny Collier is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping and eating struggles, anger, career questions, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD. Jenny practices in Kentucky and speaks English.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps a person can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Jenny frames clients as experts on their own lives while offering tools drawn from her training and experience. Jenny uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person. Techniques can include changing unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping skills for strong emotions, and adding moment-to-moment awareness through mindfulness.

Motivational methods can help when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin changes. With 11 years of clinical work, she draws on experience across varied concerns. That background helps her adapt strategies to different situations and needs.

Sessions move at a pace that fits the client and focus on practical steps that can be tested in real life. Jenny encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. She aims to support steady progress toward clearer goals, better daily functioning, and stronger self-awareness.

Her approach is collaborative and grounded in everyday language rather than clinical jargon.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are strong. It supports work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, builds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can help with anger, impulse challenges, and situations where emotion regulation is a priority.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean using a mix of techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets unpredictable. Many clients find that remote formats let them practice skills in real-world settings and maintain momentum between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
