About Jennie

Jennie Young is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed by stress, or stuck after a life change. Her practice also addresses addictions, grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting stress, and questions about life purpose.

Jennie works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions are a place to talk through practical problems and strong feelings. She listens and reflects, then helps people try small, doable steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means conversations start with the client's experience and then move toward noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses gentle challenge and planning to help people test new ways of coping.

Jennie has worked across a range of concerns, including caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, process addictions, and panic or phobia-related difficulties. She also supports people dealing with divorce, guilt, shame, and isolation.

Practical topics often come up in sessions, such as communication problems, seasonal mood changes, or managing compassion fatigue. People who are reassessing work, relationships, or health find the focus on life purpose relevant. She offers clear, steady support while people try new approaches and track what helps.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people name feelings and priorities. This approach can help when someone is trying to clarify values or make sense of a big life change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, actions, and feelings. It teaches simple experiments and planning to reduce anxiety, break addictive patterns, or change unhelpful thinking that deepens low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jennie will talk with each person about goals and what feels most useful. She will adjust the focus together based on progress and preferences so the approach fits the issues at hand.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or sessions that do not require travel. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed. Licensed professionals who offer remote sessions aim to make therapy practical and consistent with day-to-day routines.
