About Jaylea
Jaylea Black is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with five years of clinical experience. She also holds CSW credentials and has worked across settings with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and chronic or terminal illness.
She uses a mix of approaches including cognitive-behavioral techniques, EMDR, and solution-focused methods. In sessions she talks through current problems, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck, and works toward practical next steps. Her background includes work with rural and urban clients and people who identify as LGBT+.
Clients often bring experiences of abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, and stress related to caregiving or work. Jaylea has additional experience with adoption and foster care, gender dysphoria concerns, first responder and veteran issues, and matters that involve guilt and shame. She reports experience supporting people across the lifespan starting from age three and up.
Her first meeting is framed as a consult to see whether the fit feels right. That session focuses on goals and expectations and helps decide next steps. Jaylea describes her style as interactive and uses conversational work alongside targeted techniques to help people make recognizable changes.
Scheduling moves through a short matching questionnaire and a subscription-based session plan that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to use the platform's online therapy options to begin the process and to confirm the current session formats before booking.
How Jaylea applies approaches online
Jaylea integrates cognitive-behavioral work, EMDR, and mindfulness-inflected techniques into practical sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and is often used for anxiety, depression, and guilt-related thinking. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of painful images or emotions that arise from trauma or abuse. Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple attention practices to notice feelings and bodily responses so they have less automatic power over choices.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jaylea discusses goals and preferences in the first consult and adjusts methods based on what feels useful and feasible for the client. She frames treatment as a shared decision so the plan reflects the client's needs and comfort with techniques.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking. The practice uses the platform's online therapy flow to get started through a short questionnaire and scheduling tools. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on emotions into a busy life, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can fit a lunch break or a quieter part of the day.
