About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jenny" Nelson is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and ADHD. She centers her work on each person's strengths and life story, aiming to build practical coping skills and emotional regulation strategies.

Background and approach

Jenny brings six years of clinical experience and uses evidence-informed methods to support change while respecting how clients prefer to move forward. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and compassion, helping clients tackle depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

She also has experience working with autistic people and those with intellectual disabilities, integrating therapeutic techniques to fit varied needs. Jenny uses a mixture of client-centered conversation, cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior skills to help clients set goals and practice new ways of responding to stress.

Based in Indiana and licensed as an LCSW, Jenny accepts international clients and offers multiple online session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences. She aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her, helping clients develop sustainable strategies for coping with life changes and improving day-to-day functioning.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches into Online Care



Jennifer often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to structure online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. DBT emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and adapt techniques over time so the approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. Together the client and therapist review what is working and adjust strategies to support progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from different settings and on varied schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency with appointments, try skills between sessions, and receive timely support while balancing everyday responsibilities.
