About Jenay
Jenay Williams is an Alabama-licensed clinical social worker, LICSW, with nine years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression, and life transitions. She helps people notice patterns that get in the way and find practical steps to manage emotions and daily demands.
Her work centers on clear, skills-based methods rather than long lectures. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients decide what matters most and act in line with those values.
Jenay includes client-centered listening and motivational interviewing in sessions. That means she asks questions to clarify goals and helps people find their own reasons to make changes. The approach is direct and collaborative - clients set the pace and try out small experiments between meetings.
She has a history of supporting people dealing with grief, chronic health or caregiver stress, addiction concerns, and career or workplace tension. Communication problems, blended family issues, and family-of-origin themes are also common topics she addresses.
Sessions focus on short-term skills and longer-term behavior changes. Practical exercises, communication practice, and planning for setbacks are regular parts of the work. People who want clearer ways to handle anger and frustration often leave with concrete strategies to try in real situations.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anger linked to relationships, work stress, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought patterns and practicing different responses; it is practical for sudden temper, persistent resentment, and depression. Motivational Interviewing uses guided questions to uncover personal reasons to change behavior and can help with substance use or motivation to try new coping strategies.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to test approaches and adjust them based on what helps. Clients and clinician set goals together and try short experiments between sessions to see what works in everyday life.
