About Jenny
Jenny Javins is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in West Virginia with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career shifts, and other life changes. Her practice highlights family and parenting concerns among other everyday pressures adults bring to therapy.
Jenny uses clear, direct conversation to help people build coping strategies and emotional resilience. She focuses on practical skills and small adjustments that can ease daily strain. Sessions often look at communication problems, caregiver stress, and relationship fallout from separation or divorce.
She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue that come up around caregiving and demanding roles. Postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues are listed areas she supports. The emphasis is on learning ways to manage strong emotions and rebuild self-regard.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that follow the person’s concerns, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and strengthen resolve to change. Jenny aims to work collaboratively to find which strategies fit each person’s life.
If you are juggling parental responsibilities, caring for a relative, or coping with a major transition, she helps break down problems into manageable steps. Before booking, confirm current session options and any practical details through the site’s scheduling flow.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and following their priorities. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful place to sort through feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that affects day-to-day functioning.
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to move forward with life changes or caregiving roles.
Deciding which approach or combination to use is part of the work. Jenny will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The plan can shift as needs and priorities change.
