About Jenay
Jenay Williams is an AL LICSW with nine years of clinical experience based in Alabama. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses addictions, relationship strain, anger, career stress, and depression.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people manage day-to-day pressures. Sessions focus on practical skills for coping, clearer communication, and rebuilding routines after loss or major change. Jenay also supports people facing caregiver strain, blended family challenges, and family of origin issues.
Her work sometimes includes attention to chronic illness, aging and geriatric concerns, and end-of-life caregiving. She also brings experience with drug and alcohol addiction, first responder stress, and HIV/AIDS related concerns. These areas are approached with respect for each person’s context and history.
Jenay draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods are used to teach coping strategies, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build skills for emotion regulation and decision making.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How Jenay uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them. It focuses on values and small, meaningful actions to move toward what matters in daily life and can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions teach ways to test unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for mood, sleep, or relationship-related stress. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change. It uses short conversations to clarify goals, weigh options, and strengthen motivation for steps like reducing substance use or improving health routines. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. Jenay will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring. That helps shape session focus and the skills practiced between meetings. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around caregiving, work, or medical appointments. It can also allow quicker check-ins, shorter skill-practice sessions, or phone options when video is difficult, depending on the formats offered.Areas of focus
