About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jenny" Nelson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Indiana with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders including bipolar, anger, grief, and major life changes. Jenny also focuses on concerns related to ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, and intellectual disability.
Jenny uses straightforward, goal-focused conversation to help people manage hard moments. She draws on practical strategies from cognitive behavioral techniques and skills-based approaches to help with emotion regulation and coping. Sessions look at what is happening now and what skills can make daily life easier.
Her style centers on listening to each person's experience and finding workable steps forward. That can mean learning new ways to respond to stress, trying brief experiments between sessions, or practicing mindfulness skills to calm intense feelings. She explains methods in clear language and checks in about what helps.
With people dealing with relationships and family stresses, Jenny focuses on individual coping and communication skills rather than running couple or family sessions. She also supports people processing trauma and abuse, using pacing and skills to improve safety and stability before addressing painful memories.
Jenny’s background emphasizes evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches, along with client-centered and motivational styles. She helps people break down large problems into small, achievable steps so daily routines and responsibilities feel more manageable.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jenny often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice concrete alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood shifts. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication when emotions run high.These methods are explained in simple terms and tried out together. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what the client finds most helpful in daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, so what is learned can be applied to everyday routines.
