About Jenny
Jenny Javins is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in West Virginia who brings a collaborative, client-focused approach to therapy.
Background and approach
She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered principles and motivational interviewing to help people build resilience, increase self-compassion, and develop concrete coping strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her style emphasizes practical tools alongside empathic support to address immediate concerns while encouraging long-term growth.
Over six years of clinical experience inform her work with issues such as caregiver stress, postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, grief, and recovery from trauma. She also helps clients navigate relationship transitions including divorce and separation, improve communication, and work through feelings of guilt, shame, or low self-esteem.
Jenny frames therapy as a partnership, inviting clients to set goals and tailor approaches that match their needs and values. This combination of evidence-based methods and compassionate listening aims to promote emotional healing and increased self-love.
Online Therapy with CBT and Client-Centered Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking and adaptive behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening, validation, and creating a supportive space where clients guide the pace and focus of their work. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping clarify personal values and strengthen motivation for change when clients face ambivalence.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor interventions so they feel useful and relevant for the client's life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments. These options allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and make it possible to continue therapeutic work during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult, while still emphasizing consistent support and skill-building.
