About ZsaZsa

ZsaZsa Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 45 years of experience offering assessment, case management, and counseling. She has worked across settings including Children's Protective Services, community mental health, hospitals, independent practice, military bases, and nonprofit agencies.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Jenkins brings experience in individual, group, and marriage/family therapy as well as crisis intervention, and she particularly values providing group counseling and individual work with adults aged 25 and up.

Her clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative, and solution-focused methods, adapting techniques to the needs of each person. She works collaboratively with clients to identify priorities, set goals, and build practical strategies for coping and growth.

Recognizing that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, Jenkins encourages open discussion about procedures and preferences so clients feel they can evaluate fit. If concerns remain, she supports seeking a second opinion, and invites prospective clients to begin the matching process to schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches and Online Support That Fit Your Needs

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person without judgment, helping them explore feelings and values to guide personal growth and clearer decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, structured techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more adaptive responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering tools to manage overwhelming emotions and increase coping skills.

Determining which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so treatment aligns with personal needs and preferences. This shared decision-making helps tailor sessions and integrates the most helpful strategies from different approaches.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across daily routines. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused treatment regardless of location.
