About ZsaZsa

Zsa Zsa Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 45 years of experience. She helps people facing stress and anxiety as well as depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She typically works with adults and offers both group and individual counseling for people 25 and older.

Her background includes roles in Children's Protective Services, community mental health, hospitals, military bases, and nonprofit agencies. That variety shaped a practical approach to everyday problems and crisis situations. She has experience in assessment, case management, and counseling across many settings.

In sessions she focuses on what matters most to each person. She helps clients name priority issues and set clear goals. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the person's comfort level so change can feel manageable.

Her methods draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered ideas, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused approaches. She combines tools from these methods to match a person's needs instead of using the same plan for everyone.

Zsa Zsa encourages people to speak up about any concerns with the process. If someone continues to feel unsure, she suggests getting a second opinion from another mental health professional. Her practice emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions to build coping skills and reduce daily stress.

How her approaches fit online therapy

Zsa Zsa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy often in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It can help with stress, anxiety, mood issues, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to clarify goals and priorities.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people are unsure about change. That approach helps people weigh options, strengthen motivation, and set achievable steps. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; she will help figure out which methods match a person's goals and preferences as therapy proceeds.

Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel, and allow follow-up conversations without needing as much time away from work or caregiving duties. It also makes attending group or individual sessions more convenient for people who live far from a therapist's office. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and motivational techniques to an online setting to focus on skills, problem solving, and goal tracking.
