About Jennifer

Jennifer Hayden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Her practice also addresses related areas such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication difficulties, dissociation, domestic violence, and family of origin issues. Her approach blends several well-established therapies to match each person’s needs.

Jennifer integrates client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools, and she is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma and addiction-related work. She values a holistic perspective that acknowledges medical and psychosocial factors while reducing stigma around behavioral health concerns.

Jennifer emphasizes collaboration and support, inviting clients to explore practical coping strategies alongside deeper healing work. Clients who choose her can expect an experienced clinician who draws from multiple modalities to tailor treatment to individual goals and circumstances.

Her long standing practice in Colorado reflects a commitment to helping people reduce suffering and build more manageable, meaningful lives.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Jennifer uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT provides practical tools for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and stress that translate well to video or phone sessions. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach for processing traumatic memories; EMDR can be adapted for remote work and may be used when trauma or addiction-related processes are a central concern. In addition, her client-centered orientation emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and tailoring sessions to each person’s values and goals.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Jennifer works with clients to explore which techniques feel most useful and adjusts the plan as goals and needs evolve, combining evidence-based strategies with mindfulness and practical coping skills when appropriate.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing access to treatment from home or other convenient locations while still working with licensed professionals.
