About Jenny

Jenny Infanger is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to help people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and major life changes. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical next steps. She listens with empathy and works collaboratively to set clear goals.

Her tone is calm and direct, which can feel reassuring when things feel chaotic. She brings ten years of experience and training in several therapy approaches.

Background and approach

Jenny uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based work informs how she talks about hurtful relationship patterns and emotional safety.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Jenny adapts the tools she uses depending on whether the primary concern is mood, trauma, parenting stress, or self-esteem. Conversations aim to produce small, manageable changes people can try between appointments.

She emphasizes skills people can practice in daily life. Jenny holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, and she practices in Kansas. She offers a mix of session formats and focuses on creating a steady, goal-oriented process.

If someone wants a direct, empathetic guide to work through parenting pressures, grief, or ongoing anxiety, her approach centers on collaboration and clear next steps. Her work balances practical techniques and understanding how past relationships shape current patterns. That combination helps people build routines, improve communication, and handle emotions more effectively.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jenny commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change feelings and actions. Acceptance and commitment therapy, ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small actions that match those values even when emotions feel difficult.

She also integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and emotional safety. That approach can be helpful when recurring relationship patterns or problems with trust and connection are part of the concern. Together these methods give both skill-building and insight into why patterns repeat.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their needs and goals. Sessions begin with a conversation about what a person hopes to change, and the plan is adjusted as progress unfolds so people feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, manage childcare challenges, or continue work while traveling. The variety of formats also allows for brief check-ins or longer, more focused conversations depending on what someone needs at the moment.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
