About Jennifer
Jennifer Hayden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 22 years of experience. She works with people facing strong emotions like anger, anxiety, grief, or stress, and with those dealing with addictions, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and career-related stress.
Jennifer blends straightforward conversation with practical tools. Sessions focus on understanding what brings someone in, building coping skills, and making small changes that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
She combines listening with structured techniques depending on the problem and the person’s goals. Her background includes work across mental health and substance use settings, and she brings a holistic view to care. That means looking at how behavior, thinking, and daily routines interact, rather than relying on a single method.
Jennifer uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, existential reflection, and EMDR approaches to address trauma and related symptoms. She aims to reduce stigma around mental health and addiction while helping people find realistic steps forward. People who connect with her often want both practical strategies and a therapist who listens closely.
She helps people sort priorities, test new habits, and track progress so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows what the client feels is most important, helping them name goals and try realistic steps toward them.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and emotions interact. It teaches practical tools such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and building new habits, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over video or messaging.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used to address traumatic memories and the way they affect current reactions. It uses structured procedures to help people process distressing experiences, and many parts of that work can be done in video sessions with careful planning.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels helpful. That collaborative way makes it easier to focus on strategies that match personal preferences and day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are good for shorter check-ins or frequent touchpoints, and all formats help fit therapy into a busy schedule.
