Jenna Auxier , LCSW

Jenna Auxier is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - practicing in Kentucky who brings years of clinical experience to her work with individuals facing emotional and life challenges. With nine years of counseling experience, she has supported people coping with depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and crisis situations. Jenna integrates evidence-based techniques tailored to each person's needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Seeking Safety, and Motivational Interviewing.

Her approach centers on building a collaborative, trusting relationship from the first sessions. She begins by asking focused questions to understand each person’s story and invites clients to ask questions in return. Together they develop a treatment plan that reflects the client’s priorities and goals, because involvement in planning can strengthen commitment to change.

Jenna emphasizes practical skills and empowerment, teaching tools clients can use between sessions and guiding them toward the path they feel is right. She treats therapy as a team effort, with both therapist and client actively engaged during sessions. Jenna recognizes the courage it takes to seek support and affirms the strengths people bring to their healing process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jenna Auxier

Jenna uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s values and goals guide the work; this approach helps people clarify priorities, build trust, and develop personal insight. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills, which can be effective for issues like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy is included as well, offering attention and breathing strategies that support emotional regulation and reduce stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jenna collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. The focus remains on effective, practical care that supports daily functioning and long-term growth.
