Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins, LCSW

Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and related concerns. She brings a calm, compassionate presence and aims to help people handle life changes and emotional strain. Wendy prefers straightforward, respectful conversation and short-term, goal-oriented work when helpful.

Wendy has ten years of experience as an LCSW and has worked with people from varied backgrounds. Her experience includes work with older adults and aging and geriatric issues, as well as caregiver stress and survivors of intimate partner violence. She describes her style as empathetic and nonjudgmental, and she aims to meet clients where they are emotionally.

In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, set small achievable goals, and find motivation for change. Trauma-focused strategies are also part of her toolkit when past events are central to the problem.

People who work with Wendy can expect practical steps alongside emotional support. She helps with coping skills, managing strong emotions like anger, and rebuilding self-esteem after loss or difficult experiences. Sessions also address workplace stress, relationship strains, and complications that come with caregiving.

Wendy works from Tennessee and conducts therapy in English. She asks prospective clients to use the platform’s matching process to begin, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Approaches for online mental health support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people set the pace of care. It emphasizes empathy and respect so clients lead the topics they want to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change and strengthen a person’s own reasons for taking steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress and new issues appear.

Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can be convenient when caregiving or work duties limit time. Licensed professionals can use these methods remotely to teach coping skills, practice new ways of thinking, and plan small achievable steps for change.
