About Jenny
Jenny Johnson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, client-centered manner.
Background and approach
Drawing on eight years of clinical experience, she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance and mindfulness-informed strategies to help clients unpack unhelpful thoughts, develop healthier coping skills, and reduce the emotional impact of stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Her work pays particular attention to substance use and its effects on individuals and families, offering support both for people managing addiction and for loved ones coping with the fallout. Jenny also addresses concerns such as mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, anger, codependency, communication difficulties, and compassion fatigue, helping clients identify patterns and create realistic plans for change.
Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental, and conversational approach that values collaboration. She emphasizes treating the whole person by exploring beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and life context together.
Jenny encourages self-reflection and gradual growth, supporting clients as they move from feeling stuck toward greater resilience and self-compassion.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Jenny commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she employs; it emphasizes developing psychological flexibility by clarifying values and learning to accept difficult emotions while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy rounds out her work by prioritizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaborative exploration to help clients feel heard and understood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate elements from different approaches as treatment progresses to support practical change and emotional growth.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for greater flexibility in scheduling and formats that suit different comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in sessions, access care from home, and use brief check-ins or messaging between longer appointments when helpful.
