About Jennie
Jennie Kozlik is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses everyday language and clear steps to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. Jennie aims to be steady and encouraging during hard moments.
Jennie draws on a decade of experience in mental health. Her background includes an Associate of Arts in human services, a Bachelor of Social Work from Youngstown State University, and a Master of Social Science Administration from Case Western Reserve University.
Background and approach
She has worked in inpatient hospital settings and community mental health agencies, starting early in her career with people as young as 13. Sessions focus on practical tools. Jennie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person.
She may draw on cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, or acceptance and commitment ideas depending on the concern. She also addresses a wide range of life issues beyond core mood concerns. These include attachment and abandonment questions, adoption and foster care experiences, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, body image, codependency, and communication or commitment difficulties.
Jennie offers online work from Ohio and conducts sessions in English. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people set goals, try specific skills, and track progress over time.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Jennie commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress, and depression because it focuses on skills you can practice between sessions.She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas which encourage noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values. That approach can help when someone is dealing with chronic mood swings, low self-worth, or ongoing life stressors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennie discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as progress is made. Together they set clear goals, try techniques, and track what helps most over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
