Jenay Williams, LICSW

Jenay Williams, LICSW, centers her work on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and relationship strain. She draws on clear, practical methods to help clients facing grief, life changes, and struggles with self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and empathetic, aimed at helping people make usable shifts in day-to-day life.

With nine years of experience practicing in Alabama, she has supported people dealing with career pressure, chronic health challenges, and addiction concerns. She also addresses family concerns like blended family issues, caregiver stress, and family of origin patterns. Jealousy is one of the relationship issues she addresses when it appears in therapy.

Her sessions focus on identifying strengths and building skills that people can use outside of therapy. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor work to each person's needs. Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are also part of her toolkit when appropriate.

Jenay describes the therapy process as collaborative. She helps people set realistic goals and practices small, practical steps toward them. Work might include changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing communication, and building coping routines.

People come to her for help with anger, depression, caregiving burdens, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She aims to create an open space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and try new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with depression, worry, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and supports people in finding their own solutions and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to keep therapy consistent during life transitions and to practice skills in the settings where they will be used.
