Jenna Auxier, LCSW

Jenna Auxier is an LCSW licensed in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, caregiver strain, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, work stress, ADHD concerns, and life transitions. Jenna writes in a direct, encouraging way and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Jenna keeps early meetings simple and conversational. She asks questions to learn what matters to the client and invites questions in return. The first sessions focus on building trust and getting a clear picture of goals. Together the client and Jenna develop a plan that fits the client’s priorities.

Her approach adapts to each person rather than following one fixed method. She draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to craft concrete tools. Sessions emphasize teamwork and active participation from both people in the room.

Jenna aims to teach skills clients can use outside sessions, such as coping tools for anxiety, strategies for managing difficult emotions, and ways to improve communication. She highlights small, doable steps that add up over time. Her tone is collaborative and supportive while still practical.

With nine years of experience, Jenna brings a history of working with a broad range of concerns including trauma, addictions, crisis situations, and long-term stress. She practices in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the client’s goals and experience at the center. The therapist listens deeply, follows the client’s lead, and helps them name what matters. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort priorities and make choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses simple exercises and practice tasks to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Short exercises and breathing practices are used to calm stress and increase awareness in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision helps shape the plan and the kinds of exercises used between sessions.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since formats were not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk to the therapist during the matching step to learn how sessions can be arranged to fit work, caregiving duties, or other daily demands.
