About Jenny
Jenny Collier is a licensed social worker in Kentucky who focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related difficulties.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing challenges with eating and sleeping, parenting, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a variety of anxiety- and trauma-related presentations. Her practice includes attention to additional areas like autism and Asperger syndrome, obsessive-compulsive patterns, phobias, paranoia, personality disorders, and post-traumatic stress.
Drawing on an 11-year clinical background and a strengths-based perspective, she approaches therapy collaboratively, helping clients identify personal resources and practical strategies to move toward meaningful change.
She uses evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral interventions alongside acceptance and commitment and dialectical behavior strategies, integrating mindfulness and motivational interviewing where helpful to build skills, increase resilience, and address patterns that maintain distress.
Jenny aims to create a supportive working relationship that respects each person’s expertise in their own life while offering structure and tools to navigate difficult moments and life transitions. She welcomes clients who are ready to explore goals and try techniques tailored to their needs.
Approaches that guide online care and practical benefits
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching concrete skills to change patterns that contribute to distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and sleep or eating difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed actions toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for grief, chronic stress, and life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help manage intense emotions, relationship struggles, and impulsive behaviors.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and allows clients to access licensed professionals from locations across Kentucky. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into busy lives, and they support using the same CBT, ACT, and DBT-informed strategies that guide in-person work.
