About Jennifer

Jennifer “Jenni” Mayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience. She is licensed in Texas and Utah and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and career issues.

Jenni prefers a straightforward style in sessions. She creates time for people to speak about what worries them and listens without judgment. She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings and checks what is working for them.

Her background includes long-term work in clinical settings and community practice across Texas and Utah. Over nearly two decades she has supported people facing separation, blended family tensions, cycles of codependency, and struggles with substance use. That practical experience informs how she plans sessions and sets goals with each person.

Jenni uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and perspectives. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes that build momentum. Together these approaches aim to make progress feel manageable and concrete.

Sessions often include talking through recent events, practicing a specific skill or strategy, and setting a short action to try before the next meeting. People who prefer clear, step-by-step plans and a calm conversational approach may find this style helpful.

To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s booking flow and complete a short matching questionnaire. That initial information helps shape the first session and make the first meeting easier to plan.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s concerns and goals at the center of work. Sessions focus on listening to the person’s experience, reflecting what matters most, and supporting choices that come from them. This approach is helpful for people who need space to clarify feelings and priorities.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on specific, achievable changes. Conversations look for recent exceptions to problems and identify small steps that can be tried between sessions. This method suits people who prefer action-oriented tasks and clear short-term goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is reviewed over time.

Session format options are not listed here, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by shortening check-ins, avoiding travel time, or allowing meetings during a lunch break. Licensed professionals often adapt sessions to match a person’s rhythm, and practical flexibility can help keep therapeutic steps consistent without disrupting daily routines.
