Jenny Javins, LICSW - Therapist in West Virginia

About Jenny

Jenny Javins is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She uses straightforward tools to help build coping skills, increase self-compassion, and reduce the weight of depression and burnout. Jenny writes in plain language and keeps sessions focused on what matters to each person.

With six years of experience as a LICSW (licensed independent clinical social worker), she blends techniques from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Background and approach

That mix helps her adapt to many concerns, from career stress and relationship communication problems to postpartum depression and compassion fatigue. She works to help people name patterns and try new, manageable ways of coping. Her sessions often include clear steps and short-term goals.

Clients may practice mood-tracking, thought-challenging, or small behavior changes between meetings. Jenny also talks through forgiveness, guilt, and rebuilding self-love when those come up. She places emphasis on practical skills alongside emotional processing.

This includes improving communication, navigating separation or divorce questions, and handling caregiver stress. The goal is steady progress that fits each person’s life. Jenny sees clients remotely from West Virginia and conducts sessions in English.

She follows a collaborative style and aims to make therapy feel like a useful, everyday resource rather than a closed book of jargon.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people decide what matters most to them. It’s useful when someone wants a steady space to talk, be heard, and set their own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Jenny uses CBT to help people test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depression.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses gentle conversation to explore why change matters and to build motivation for practical steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and current situation. She adjusts plans as needed so the therapy stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other demands and to use brief check-ins between meetings. For many, that accessibility makes it easier to practice new skills consistently and keep progress moving forward.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
