Jennie Kozlik , LISW

Jennie Kozlik is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio. She brings ten years of experience in clinical settings and community agencies. Jennie focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. She uses everyday language and a warm, straightforward style to help people find what works for them.

Jennie relies on person-centered care and evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape each plan. She tailors interventions rather than using a single approach for everyone. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills and clearer thinking about relationships and self-image.

Her background includes an Associate of Arts in human services, a Bachelor of Social Work from Youngstown State University, and a Master of Social Science Administration from Case Western Reserve University. Jennie has worked in inpatient hospital settings and community mental health agencies, giving her experience across levels of care.

In appointments she focuses on concrete tools - for example, skill practice for managing stress or steps to address low self-esteem. She also attends to more complex mood concerns like bipolar disorder and persistent anxiety, helping clients create day-to-day routines and safety plans when needed.

Jennie offers online formats so people can connect in ways that fit their lives. She aims to be collaborative, helping each person find approaches that match their goals and circumstances.

Evidence-based approaches for flexible online care

Jennie uses evidence-based techniques in plain terms so people know what to expect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-based action, which can help with low self-worth and ongoing mood concerns. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) teaches specific emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are helpful when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist listens to goals and tries methods in session, adjusting plans to match what the person finds most helpful. This collaborative process makes sure techniques fit the client's life and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, homework support, and more frequent touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent care and fit therapy into daily life.
