About Jennie

Jennie Nelson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people through hard times. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and parenting concerns. She aims to make clients feel seen and respected from the first session.

Jennie brings four years of clinical experience to her work. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and follows trauma-informed practices. That means she pays attention to how past hurts affect day-to-day life and tailors support to each person’s history.

She creates a warm, affirming space where LGBTQ+ clients are treated with care and respect. Sessions are collaborative - Jennie listens first, then helps set practical steps that fit a person’s life. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, manageable changes.

Jennie helps with family dynamics and communication problems without assuming any single solution. She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and challenges linked to autism or intellectual disability. Work can include managing impulsivity and navigating young adult transitions.

Her practice centers on building insight and resilience. Jennie balances emotional support with concrete strategies people can use between sessions. She welcomes the chance to meet someone where they are and help them move forward.

Step 3

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Jennie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and trauma-informed practices to guide sessions. Evidence-based approaches focus on methods that have research backing and practical steps clients can use. Trauma-informed care means paying attention to how past trauma shapes responses and pacing work so clients feel steady while they process difficult material.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. It can also let people choose a quieter setting or a shorter check-in when that fits better. Jennie will work with each person to find practical arrangements that support steady progress.
