About Jennifer

Jennifer "Jenni" Mayes is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. She is licensed in Texas and brings a calm, nonjudgmental approach to sessions. Jenni welcomes people who feel stuck and want practical steps forward.

She focuses on common midlife concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, and questions about self-esteem and career. She also helps people facing issues tied to family of origin, blended family dynamics, commitment and communication struggles, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.

Jenni uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and shape work around each person's priorities. She adds Solution-Focused Therapy to help identify clear, manageable goals and small changes that add up over time. Sessions aim to leave people with tools they can use between meetings.

Her style is straightforward and empathetic. Clients can expect a space to talk through what matters most, then set simple steps to try. The emphasis is on practical progress rather than jargon.

To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability. Jenni practices in Texas and conducts work in English.

How Jenni Uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Work Online

Jennifer uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person, offering a supportive space to talk through concerns. This approach is useful when someone needs someone to hear their experience and help them make sense of it.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify concrete goals and small, doable steps. That method works well for people who want quick, practical changes for stress, anxiety, relationship problems, or substance concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jenni collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans as needs change so sessions stay relevant and usable.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, or allow a quieter check-in during a break. Discuss format options when you schedule so the sessions match your routine and goals.
