About Jenay
Jenay Williams is an AL LICSW with nine years of clinical experience working with adults in Alabama. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, and issues common in early adulthood such as career choices and feeling adrift after school. She also addresses addictions, family conflict, and self-esteem concerns.
Her approach uses practical, evidence-based methods. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques. Sessions tend to look at current problems, identify manageable steps, and practice new ways of coping.
Jenay often helps people dealing with major life changes and loss. She talks through grief, job stress, caregiver strain, chronic health concerns, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also works with commitment and communication issues and supports people handling substance use concerns.
She draws on nine years of hands-on experience to offer straightforward tools. That may include thought-behavior work from CBT, values-based actions from ACT, and skills from DBT for emotion regulation. Motivational Interviewing is used when making changes feels especially hard.
Clients can expect a down-to-earth style focused on change and skill building. Jenay practices in Alabama and works in English. If you are an adult navigating early-adult pressures or other life stressors, she may be able to help you sort priorities and try practical steps forward.
How Jenay’s approaches translate to online work
Jenay uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that match those values, which helps when choices feel uncertain. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers clear exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are useful when strong emotions get in the way of relationships, work, or daily functioning. These approaches are practical and skill-focused, so they adapt well to remote conversations and between-session practice.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
