About Jennifer
Jennifer “Jenni” Mayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience practicing in Texas and Utah. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, self-esteem, and career issues. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, family of origin problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Jenni keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what you bring. She listens and reflects what she hears so people can sort through difficult feelings. She uses practical steps and short-term strategies alongside open conversation.
Her background includes nearly two decades in social work and clinical practice. That experience shapes a steady, realistic approach to problems that often overlap, such as addiction and relationship stress. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person’s perspective and Solution-Focused Therapy to build concrete next steps.
In a session she asks about what matters most now and what small changes could help. She works toward clear goals and skills people can use between appointments. Discussion can include patterns from family history, issues around commitment or control, and coping with emptiness or shame.
Practical matters are part of the work too. Sessions are arranged through the site process and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's lead to help clarify feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for dealing with guilt, shame, and family-related concerns where being heard matters.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and small goals. Sessions concentrate on what can change now and on skills to try between meetings. This method often helps with stress, anxiety, and addictive behaviors by breaking issues into manageable actions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as those needs become clearer. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions around the client's immediate concerns.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, permit shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
