About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jenny" Nelson is a licensed clinical social worker in Indiana who helps people manage strong emotions and life changes. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, mood shifts, and the day-to-day strain of relationships and family concerns. Jenny emphasizes a straightforward, person-focused way of working.

She listens for what each person already does well, then helps build practical skills for handling intense feelings and tough situations.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented so clients leave with usable tools. Her background includes six years of clinical experience supporting people with depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, trauma, and ADHD. She has also focused on neurodevelopmental differences such as autism and intellectual disability and adapts her methods to fit each individual’s needs.

In session she draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior strategies to manage emotions, and client-centered conversation to keep the work grounded in the person’s priorities. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the client’s goals. Jenny works with people who want clear steps to reduce reactivity and improve daily coping.

Her aim is to help clients move from crisis moments to steady patterns of managing stress and anger. She guides clients toward realistic changes they can maintain over time.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approaches that fit online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and supports practical steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds specific emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help during intense moments and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust over time. This is a collaborative process where techniques are chosen based on what helps the individual make steady progress.

Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter, written exchange fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
