Jenna Auxier , LCSW

Jenna Auxier is an LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in Kentucky with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, ADHD, and caregiver stress. Jenna blends practical skills with compassionate support to help clients navigate life transitions and manage ongoing stressors.

Her approach is collaborative and client-focused - she prioritizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship in the first sessions by asking questions to understand each person’s background, strengths, and goals. From there she partners with clients to create a treatment plan that reflects their priorities and encourages active involvement in goal setting. Jenna emphasizes teaching tools and strategies that clients can apply between sessions to support lasting change.

Clinically she draws on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods, and client-centered work, selecting the strategies that best fit each individual. She frames therapy as a team effort in which both therapist and client contribute to progress. Jenna acknowledges the courage it takes to seek support and aims to provide a steady, empowering presence throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth - it is helpful for building self-awareness, processing emotions, and exploring personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings - it can reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jenna works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to take an active role in choosing strategies and tracking outcomes.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - sessions can take place over video calls, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, attend from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible, while allowing therapists to tailor interactions to each person’s comfort and needs.
