Deidre Jenkins

Deidre Jenkins is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Nevada with 17 years of experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck or uncertain about work, relationships, or life direction. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, coping with life changes, career questions, and depression.

She uses practical conversation to help people sort priorities and take small steps forward. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete strategies rather than vague promises. Deidre draws on client-centered ideas to follow what matters most to each person and on solution-focused and motivational techniques to build momentum for change.

Her background includes long-term clinical experience supporting people through divorce, separation, infidelity, blended family tensions, and workplace strain. She also addresses midlife questions, money and financial stress, and issues many women face during life transitions. Those topics often connect with questions about life purpose and what comes next.

In a session she listens, reflects, and helps craft doable plans. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when patterns of thinking or behavior get in the way. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel ambivalent about change.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions. Progress is measured by what changes in daily life and what feels more manageable over time.

How therapy approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify values and priorities by paying attention to their concerns and reflections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits of thinking and behaving. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build motivation in small, manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made or as needs shift.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are held. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed, while video can support the interactive exercises common in CBT. Ask about formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled to fit everyday life.
