About Jenay
Jenay Williams, LICSW, focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage anxiety. She offers steady, direct support for people facing hard life changes. Sessions aim to help clients find small, useful steps they can try between meetings.
She brings nine years of clinical experience working with concerns like grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and career stress. Her work also covers addiction, chronic health challenges, caregiving stress, and end-of-life issues. Jenay uses a mix of therapy styles to match what each person needs rather than one fixed method.
Her approach is client-centered and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Conversations focus on practical skills, communication strategies, and ways to tolerate difficult feelings when they arise.
Jenay uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help change unhelpful patterns and clarify values. Motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are added when someone needs help staying motivated or managing intense emotions.
People working with her can expect straightforward feedback and concrete takeaways after sessions. She emphasizes small, sustainable changes that fit real life. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values despite stress or anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change by exploring their own reasons for moving forward and building motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted over time based on what helps.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also make it simpler to continue work when dealing with health or caregiving responsibilities. Ask about available formats when scheduling to find what will work best.
