Jaynie Palmer , LCSW

Jaynie Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on supporting women and adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard during hard conversations. Jaynie aims to help people find practical steps forward and regain some calm in daily life.

Jaynie brings four years of experience as an LCSW working in Utah. She has a background in social work settings that included juvenile justice, child welfare, adoption, and criminal justice. That variety shaped her ability to adapt to different needs and life situations.

In sessions she uses an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach. That means she looks for safety, helps people make sense of painful experiences, and focuses on coping skills that can be used between meetings. She pays attention to how past events affect current behavior and mood.

She often supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, body image concerns, postpartum depression, panic attacks, and issues related to sexual assault or military service. Jaynie also assists with end-of-life and hospice-related grief and the complicated emotions that come with guilt or shame.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She works with each person to set realistic goals and build on what already helps them. Outside of work she spends time with her daughter, dogs, gardening, travel, and sporting events.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Jaynie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on safety, skills, and making sense of painful experiences. One common focus is trauma-informed care, which helps people understand how past stress affects current feelings and behavior and builds practical coping skills to reduce distress. Another key element is skills-based therapy that teaches tools for managing anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms so people can use them between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jaynie works with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. The therapist and client check in about what is helping and what needs to change so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, manage symptoms in real time, and follow up without always needing to schedule a full video visit.
