About Jennifer

Jennifer Hayden is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. Her listing also includes work around parenting, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and career strain.

Jennifer uses a mix of practical approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered techniques that let people set the pace and direction of work. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of acting. Mindfulness tools are offered to help manage arousal and reactivity when anger or anxiety arises.

Her background includes substantive work with trauma and addiction concerns. Jennifer describes using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one of the ways she helps people process difficult memories. She has experience applying EMDR protocols that address both trauma and addictive behaviors.

In session she focuses on clear strategies and real skills. That can mean learning ways to interrupt a build-up of anger, practicing different responses to triggers, or using motivational interviewing techniques to support change. She also works on communication and boundary skills that often reduce recurring conflict.

People who choose her typically want straightforward, skills-based help alongside deeper trauma work when needed. To begin, clients are matched and schedule a first session through the service's online steps and a short questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's agenda. Online sessions let the client bring current problems and priorities, and the therapist follows that lead to shape each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online visit CBT can include worksheets, in-session practice, and homework that helps break anger cycles. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to process distressing memories and reactions; when EMDR is used online the therapist guides the protocol step by step and adapts pacing to the client's needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best based on goals, the issues at hand, and personal preference. That collaborative planning can start at the first appointment and shift over time as new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Some people find remote sessions reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins more doable. Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the exact options before booking, and expect a focus on skills, behavioral experiments, and trauma-focused tools adapted for remote use.
