About Winzetta
Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. Wendy also helps people facing life transitions and workplace pressures.
Wendy uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. She listens first and then helps clients identify patterns that make anger and frustration worse. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set practical short-term goals.
Her background includes work with older adults and with people who have faced trauma and violence. That experience shapes how she talks about safety, boundaries, and practical coping steps in the room. She emphasizes skills that can be used between sessions, such as breathing strategies, behavior changes, and small experimentation with different responses.
Wendy names Motivational Interviewing as part of her approach when clients want to make life changes. That method helps people sort through mixed feelings and find reasons to try new ways of responding. She keeps language plain and action-oriented so sessions focus on what to do next.
People who come for help with anger often leave with a clearer sense of triggers and a short plan to try. Wendy asks about daily routines, relationships, and work demands to build realistic strategies. Prospective clients should confirm session format and scheduling details before booking.
How Wendy uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel understood and clarifies their priorities so they can talk through anger, loss, or stress at a steady pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by naming thoughts and behaviors that feed anger. Sessions use simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to practice different responses in everyday situations.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. It guides a person to weigh pros and cons and find personal reasons to try new behavior. That approach is useful for shifting patterns that cause repeated conflicts.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining short-term goals with skill practice and moments of focused reflection.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, avoid travel time, and schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework to fit a client's daily routine rather than asking for big changes.
