About Jaylea
Jaylea Black is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with five years of practice. She holds a Colorado LCSW credential and a Kansas LSCSW and works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and anger.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what gets in the way, and small steps that can change patterns. Jaylea draws from cognitive-behavioral ideas and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and reactions and try different responses.
Her background includes working with people facing trauma and chronic illness, and she has experience with LGBT clients and a range of life changes. She has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and has used solution-focused and motivational approaches when a short-term plan helps people move forward.
Sessions are described as interactive. The first meeting is a consult to talk about expectations, practical goals, and whether the therapist-client match feels right. Jaylea emphasizes respect and avoiding stigmatizing labels while working through painful events and strong emotions.
People who come for help with anger often explore triggers, communication habits, and stress that feeds frustration. Therapy can include learning concrete skills, trying new ways to respond in tense moments, and planning steps to reduce recurring conflict and resentment.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Jaylea often draws from cognitive-behavioral therapy and EMDR in her work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anger and stress. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories or events to reduce their emotional hold, and can be used for trauma-related anger.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match techniques to the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions may combine skill practice, short-term solution-focused work, and paced processing of difficult experiences based on what the person wants to accomplish.
