Jennifer “Jenni” Mayes, LCSW

Jennifer “Jenni” Mayes is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience. She is licensed in Texas and Utah and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Jenni emphasizes practical steps so clients leave with tools they can use between sessions.

Her approach focuses on listening first and working from the client’s goals. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. These approaches guide conversations about stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem.

Jenni also helps people address issues that often appear alongside other concerns, such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin matters. She supports people facing commitment concerns, divorce and separation, parenting challenges like fatherhood issues, and substance-related problems including drug and alcohol addiction.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented. Clients can expect focused discussions that move toward practical changes and clearer next steps. The intent is to build confidence and create coping strategies that fit everyday life.

How client-centered and solution-focused work online

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, understanding, and following the client’s pace so sessions match what matters most right now. This approach can help when people feel overwhelmed by stress, abandonment feelings, or family conflicts.

Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on small, practical changes. It helps identify a few clear, achievable goals and tests steps that can improve daily functioning. This method is useful for managing anxiety, improving communication, and tackling specific behaviors related to addiction or hoarding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means mixing listening, goal-setting, and practical exercises based on what helps each person make progress.

Confirm session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what a client needs, and it can help people maintain continuity of care when schedules are unpredictable.
