About Jenay
Jenay Williams is an AL LICSW - a clinical social worker licensed in Alabama - with nine years of practice supporting adults. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, addictions, and anger, and she helps people manage life changes and career pressures.
She keeps sessions straightforward. She talks with clients about what is happening day to day, what triggers strong reactions, and practical steps to try between appointments. She uses clear tools to help people notice thoughts, change unhelpful patterns, and practice different ways of responding when frustration rises.
Her background includes work with caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family issues, and family-of-origin concerns. She also supports people facing end-of-life caregiving, HIV/AIDS related issues, and the emotional impact of aging and loss.
Therapeutic methods she draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered work. That mix lets her pair skill-building with reflective conversation so clients can both learn new coping skills and make sense of painful experiences.
Sessions are practical and goal-focused. People who come because they snap at loved ones, feel stuck at work, or carry resentment find clear behavioral steps and communication coaching. The work is steady, direct, and aimed at helping people reduce eruptions of anger and regain more control over everyday interactions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anger comes from avoidance, stuck patterns, or when life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is useful for reducing angry outbursts and changing the automatic reactions that follow stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals, try out methods, and adjust the plan together. That way the choice of techniques reflects what actually helps you manage frustration and communicate differently.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so work or caregiving duties are easier to balance. Licensed professionals commonly use these benefits to help clients practice new communication skills and emotion regulation strategies between meetings.
