01 · Who Jenna works with

Jenna works with stress, Anxiety, self esteem and depression

Jenna lists 13 specialisms and 15 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Jenna chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

What Jenna says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Hi! My name is Jenna Auxier. I am an LCSW with a licensed issued in the state of Kentucky. I have 5 years of counseling experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and crisis counseling.

I am experienced in many counseling techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Seeking Safety, and Motivational Interviewing. I ultimately will pick the technique that is best for you. My first few sessions will start with asking you some questions to get to know you. You can also ask me any questions you would like as well! I want our first few sessions to focus on building a trusting and therapeutic relationship. Our next steps will be developing a treatment plan. I want you involved in the treatment planning sessions because I believe if you are apart of developing your goals, you will be more likely to stick to them. My therapy sessions are always focused on you and what you need. I will empower you by teaching you tools you can use outside of our sessions. I will guide you on the path you feel is best. I treat our sessions as a team based. We are both actively involved during our time together.

I applaud you for taking the next step in your journey to seek counseling. I know this can be vulnerable and uncomfortable, but know there is so much strength in you to take this step. I look forward to working with you!

03 · How Jenna works

The 6 approaches Jenna lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Jenna lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Jenna's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Jenna runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

Trauma-Focused TherapyTF-CBT · trauma-informed

CBT adapted for people whose difficulty is rooted in a frightening or overwhelming event. Pacing is the point: safety and stabilisation come first, the memory itself is approached gradually and only when you are ready, and the aim is that recalling it stops hijacking the present.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Jenna practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jenna's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jenna at this point.

2. Naming Jenna specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jenna is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jenna.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Jenna

Built from what Jenna actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jenna's - Jenna has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Jenna's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Jenna. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
