Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins, LCSW

Winzetta "Wendy" Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Wendy writes in a warm, direct way and focuses on practical steps that feel doable day to day.

Wendy brings about 10 years of clinical experience to sessions and draws on a long background in social work. Her approach centers on empathy and listening first. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what’s hard without judgment, and then begin to build small changes that add up.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and prioritize their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy guide goal-setting and small, practical changes that fit a person’s life.

Wendy also addresses caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, body image, workplace issues, dependent personality traits, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and struggles with self-love so they can find steadier footing.

Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Wendy aims to meet people where they are mentally and emotionally, then work together on realistic steps toward relief and clearer decision making.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Wendy uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s priorities and build trust through listening and reflection. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings and decide what matters most.

She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns with clear, practical exercises.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find their own reasons for change. It focuses on small, motivated steps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next moves.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Wendy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as people try different strategies and see what helps.

For practical matters, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic methods to work well in remote sessions, and Wendy aims to help people use them in ways that suit their everyday routines.
