About Jennie

Jennie Kozlik is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with ten years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and intended for adult clients in the United States.

Jennie earned 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. Her career has included work in inpatient hospital settings and community mental health agencies. That background shaped how she helps people who are coping with intense feelings and complicated life situations.

She uses a person-centered approach and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Jennie shifts methods to match what a person needs, focusing on concrete skills and practical steps during meetings. She emphasizes building resilience, coping strategies, and clearer communication.

Her practice has included supporting people with attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and body image or control problems. Jennie also has experience addressing avoidant personality patterns, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and some concerns tied to kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Jennie works with each person to set goals, practice new skills, and check progress over time. To begin, the process starts with completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Jennie incorporates several evidence-based techniques in her practice and adapts them for online meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. This can help with anxiety, low mood, and relationship-related worries.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach specific coping tools such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are practical in moments of high stress and when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennie collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try based on current concerns, goals, and personal preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods if something isn’t a good fit.

Video Telehealth is noted as a way she connects with clients; confirm the full list of session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working this way helps them practice skills in real life between sessions while keeping therapy practical and focused.
