Jenna Auxier , LCSW

Jenna Auxier is an LCSW based in Kentucky who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to parenting and women's issues. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Jenna works with adults and young adults to build practical skills and clearer goals.

She favors a straightforward, team-based approach in sessions. Jenna asks questions early on to learn what matters most to each person. She encourages clients to shape their own goals and takes time to teach tools they can use between meetings.

Her background includes nine years of work in counseling and social work, using several therapy methods to suit different needs. Jenna adapts her approach to each person rather than sticking to a single method. Early sessions focus on getting to know each client and creating a plan together.

Jenna uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow what the client brings to the room. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to uncover motivation and small practical steps toward change.

People who want a collaborative, practical therapist often find this style helpful. Jenna aims to guide without taking over, and to leave clients with concrete strategies for daily life. She works in English and practices from Kentucky as an LCSW.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy means Jenna listens closely and follows what the client most wants to work on; online sessions give space to speak about emotions, roles, and personal goals in a way that fits daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which translates well to remote work because homework and skill practice can be reviewed over video or messaging. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by asking open questions and reflecting back what they say, useful when someone is weighing next steps like career moves, parenting choices, or recovery from burnout.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jenna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She starts by asking questions in the first sessions, then adjusts techniques as progress and preferences become clear.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can fit shorter check-ins, daily tracking, or quick skill reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while maintaining a consistent path forward with a licensed professional.
