Jennifer “Jenni” Mayes

Jennifer "Jenni" Mayes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience and holds licensure in Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and career questions. Jenni’s practice also addresses related issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin concerns.

Jenni focuses on creating space for people to talk through what feels stuck. She uses a client-centered approach to listen and respond to each person’s needs. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help identify practical steps people can try between sessions.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Jenni helps people break problems into manageable pieces and develop simple tools to try at home or at work. Topics she often sees alongside the main concerns include divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, emptiness, guilt and shame, and hoarding.

Her background in social work informs a practical style that highlights strengths and next steps. She draws on nearly two decades of experience to recognize patterns and suggest changes that can fit into everyday life. The focus is on what the person wants to change and small, workable moves toward that.

If someone is unsure what comes next in work or life, Jenni helps clarify short-term goals and offers concrete techniques for coping and decision making. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and expect a brief matching process to schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s priorities at the center. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person name concerns and goals. This approach is useful when someone feels unsure or overwhelmed and needs a steady, responsive listener.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and on what is already working. The focus is on setting short-term goals and trying concrete techniques between sessions. This is helpful for stress, career doubts, and relationship problems where immediate, manageable changes matter.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Jenni will discuss which approach - or mix of approaches - seems most useful based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to decide collaboratively so sessions match what the person wants to accomplish.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day and reduced travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work makes it simpler to keep regular appointments and to try brief check-ins between longer sessions.
