About Jennifer
Jennifer Hamilton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 27 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, bipolar disorder, and depression. Jennifer also focuses on caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, disaster-related coping, guilt and shame, and issues faced by veterans and people with mood or personality disorders.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses methods that help people notice their thoughts, practice new skills, and take small steps toward clearer goals. Sessions include talk, skills practice, and focused work on specific problems you bring in.
Jennifer lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing among the approaches she uses. That means she may combine values-based action, emotion regulation skills, trauma processing, and present-moment awareness to address concerns like trauma, mood swings, or sleep problems.
She also welcomes bringing faith into sessions when clients want that included. The therapist describes a curious, nonjudgmental stance and works collaboratively to help clients choose what changes to make and how to begin.
Jennifer’s practice is rooted in many years of clinical work in Kentucky. People who prefer straightforward, skills-oriented sessions that also attend to trauma and mood issues may find her style useful.
BHow sessions work
How Jennifer uses ACT, DBT and EMDR online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values. Online ACT sessions often include exercises to notice thoughts and try behavior experiments between meetings.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. In remote sessions these skills are practiced in session and assigned as short exercises to use during the week.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories. When used remotely, the therapist explains the steps clearly and works through grounding, memory processing, and follow-up in a structured way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what is helping and adjust methods or homework based on progress and preference.
