Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins, LCSW

Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.

Wendy prefers straightforward conversation. She uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. That can mean looking at patterns of thinking, trying small behavior changes, or setting short-term goals to reduce daily stress.

In a typical meeting she listens to what matters most that week, helps prioritize one or two concrete actions, and checks what actually changed between sessions. She also addresses work and caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, body image, and workplace issues. For someone dealing with domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, or the fallout of separation, she centers safety planning and practical coping steps.

Wendy combines straightforward clinical approaches with attention to everyday life - money pressures, job demands, family roles, and health changes. Her style is direct and person-focused: she helps people identify manageable next steps and evaluates what worked. She practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, people are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process is intended to get to practical, usable changes rather than abstract discussion.
