About Jaylea
Jaylea Black is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with five years of clinical experience. She lists trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, addiction, ADHD, and life purpose among the issues she works with. She works with adults and has experience across rural and urban communities and LGBT+ clients. Sessions begin with a consult to see if the fit feels right and to set expectations and goals.
Jaylea uses a mix of practical methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. She also uses EMDR techniques for processing traumatic memories and solution-focused methods to set short-term, achievable goals. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing show up when clients want concrete tools for stress and change.
In the room she keeps conversations interactive. She asks concrete questions, offers exercises to try between sessions, and reviews what worked or did not. That helps clients notice small shifts and decide next steps. The first meeting is a consult to map concerns and expectations.
Her background includes work with people facing chronic or terminal illness, first responder stress, and issues related to adoption and foster care. She has training in critical incident stress debriefing and in screening and brief interventions for substance use. Those experiences inform how she approaches crisis aftermath and addiction concerns.
People looking for help sorting work, parenting, grief, or identity concerns will find a clinician who combines practical strategies with trauma-informed tools. She asks clients to set goals and helps them test different ways of moving forward.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jaylea commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and can be used for trauma-related symptoms in stepwise sessions.She also draws on mindfulness practices to teach simple breathing and awareness exercises that reduce reactivity. These approaches support concrete skill building and brief goal-setting that clients can practice between sessions. Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together; the therapist will collaborate with each client to pick approaches that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level.
