About Jennie
Jennie Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, aging and geriatric concerns, panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias.
Jennie creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings. She listens first and then works with each person to set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the client needs in the moment and on building practical skills for everyday life. Her work draws on client-centered approaches that prioritize the person’s own experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
Those methods are used together to help people manage symptoms and make steady changes. Jennie has two decades of professional practice, including support for people coping with hospice and end-of-life issues, divorce and separation, substance and process addictions, and seasonal mood changes. She pays attention to both emotional and practical aspects of problems so solutions can fit real life.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jennie encourages anyone who is ready to begin to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
Approaches used online and how they help
Jennie uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person's experience and build a trusting working relationship. That approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers for problems like grief, caregiver stress, or life transitions.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new responses. CBT is practical and skills-based, and it can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and mood concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and experiences, and together they decide which methods to try. The plan can change over time as progress and needs shift, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection feels helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat or text-based messaging provides shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or communication between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular contact and to use therapy in ways that match daily routines and responsibilities.
