About Jenay
Jenay Williams is an Alabama-licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with nine years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and changes in life circumstances. She works with people struggling with self-esteem, addiction, career stress, anger, and the lingering effects of family of origin issues.
Her practice uses clear, skills-focused methods. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and setting small, doable goals. Jenay draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to question thoughts, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values, and client-centered listening to reflect what matters to each person.
She also brings approaches from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when clients need concrete emotion-regulation tools or help resolving ambivalence about change. That mix supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, blended family concerns, or grief related to hospice and end-of-life issues.
Jenay describes practical steps she and a client can take together. These include building communication skills, making short action plans for career or relationship challenges, and developing coping tools for anxiety or cravings. Her work also addresses guilt, shame, abandonment concerns, and forgiveness when those themes arise.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided from Alabama. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How Jenay uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help when strong feelings make daily life harder.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jenay treats finding what fits as a collaborative process. She will talk with a client about goals and try methods that match those goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t possible. These practical benefits help people practice new skills in everyday settings and keep momentum between sessions.
