About Winzetta
Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Wendy also lists additional focus areas such as aging and geriatric issues, body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and workplace issues.
Wendy’s approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into sessions to help notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods are used to set realistic goals and build small, practical steps forward.
In sessions she talks through specific problems, identifies patterns that keep someone stuck, and works with clients to try different ways of responding. Sessions often include targeted practice and clear steps to try between meetings. When trauma is part of the story, trauma-focused methods guide how to address those memories at a pace the person can manage.
Wendy’s background includes social work experience across a range of settings and populations. She draws on that experience to recognize practical stressors such as caregiving, aging concerns, and workplace strain. Her language is plain and direct, and she focuses on what can be done in day-to-day life.
If guilt or shame is part of the concern, Wendy can discuss how those feelings show up and what practical strategies might reduce their hold. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and prioritizing what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach still center the person's concerns and personal goals, with the therapist reflecting back what she hears and helping clarify priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in an online setting concentrates on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and homework tasks that can be reviewed between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Online meetings can be used to explore ambivalence, set small goals, and track progress in manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what is actually causing difficulty, like caregiving strain, workplace issues, or lingering guilt.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins, not needing travel time, and scheduling around work or caregiving tasks. Ask about available formats when you request an appointment to learn how sessions can fit your routine.
