About Jennie

Jennie Kozlik is a Licensed Independent Social Worker who uses a person-centered approach to guide people toward greater strength and self-worth. She blends practical techniques with a respectful, supportive style. Jennie aims to help people feel understood and to build skills that make daily life easier.

She draws on ten years of clinical work in hospital and community mental health settings. That experience includes supporting people with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, relationship and self-esteem concerns. Jennie also addresses adoption and foster care related issues among many other focus areas.

Her methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Jennie adapts those techniques to match each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on concrete strategies, coping skills, and small achievable steps.

People can expect a collaborative atmosphere where the therapist and client set goals together. Jennie emphasizes building resilience, improving communication, and strengthening coping tools. She works to make therapy a practical part of everyday life.

Jennie completed an Associate of Arts in human services, a Bachelor of Social Work from Youngstown State University, and a Master of Social Science Administration from Case Western Reserve University. She holds an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker credential (LISW) and practices in Ohio.

How evidence-based tools translate to online therapy

Jennie uses well-established therapeutic techniques and adapts them for remote work in straightforward ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and reactions; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and improve relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Video Telehealth is mentioned as a way Jennie connects with clients, but confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use approaches like skills practice, guided exercises, and homework assignments in the moments they matter most.
