02 · In Jennie's own words

What Jennie says about the work

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

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and finding someone you feel comfortable opening up to is an important part of the process. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through life’s challenges at your own pace. I believe you are the expert on your own experiences, and I strive to meet you where you are while helping you recognize your strengths and work toward the changes that matter most to you.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring sessions to your individual needs, experiences, and goals. Together, we can work on developing healthy coping skills, strengthening relationships, building confidence, and navigating difficult emotions and life transitions.

I am **Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.) certified and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) certified**, with specialized training in trauma treatment. These approaches allow me to help clients process difficult experiences, address unhelpful thought patterns, and work toward healing and recovery.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or other life stressors, my goal is to help you feel more confident in yourself, develop tools that support your well-being, and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with your values.

03 · How Jennie works

The 4 approaches Jennie lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Jennie lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Jennie'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 Jennie 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.

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

Jennie 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 Jennie'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 Jennie at this point.

2. Naming Jennie specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jennie 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 Jennie.

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 Jennie

Built from what Jennie actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jennie's - Jennie 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

Jennie'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 6 Nov 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 Jennie. 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.
