Connie Jenks

Connie Jenks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 19 years of experience. She helps people facing depression, bipolar mood shifts, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and low self-esteem. Connie also supports those dealing with career stress, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She recognizes how overwhelming it can feel to reach out for help and aims to make the first step easier.

Connie creates an open environment where people can speak about difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on listening first, then building small, practical steps forward. She uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person's needs rather than a single fixed method.

Her work often includes addressing co-morbidity, communication problems, shame and guilt, post-traumatic stress, and personality or mood disorders. She also supports people coping with self-harm urges, trichotillomania, and seasonal mood changes. Connie welcomes people who are visually impaired and those seeking help with women's issues.

Connie blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and motivational interviewing to help people find clearer choices. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches when those methods better match a person's goals. Over nearly two decades she has helped many people build coping skills and small routines that make day-to-day life more manageable.

People who start with Connie are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting the person's experience. Online sessions can use this approach to let people feel heard and to build goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new actions. Online work with CBT can help with depression, anxiety, mood regulation, and patterns that keep a person stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Connie will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. She balances listening with practical tools so people can try changes between sessions and report back what worked.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow someone to work with a licensed professional from a different location, including international clients. Ask about the session types offered when you schedule so you can pick the option that fits your routine.
