About Jennie
Jennie Kozlik is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression, and offers help for related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, and body image.
Jennie trained in social work at Youngstown State University and completed a Master of Social Science Administration at Case Western Reserve University. Her background includes work in inpatient hospital settings and community mental health agencies. That mix of environments shaped how she approaches common and complex problems.
She prefers a person-centered way of working. That means sessions start with the client's priorities and build practical skills from there. Jennie uses evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and values-based goals.
In sessions she focuses on skill-building, clearer communication, and coping strategies for mood and stress. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency, and concerns around kink and alternative sex culture.
Jennie has experience supporting people from age 13 onward in previous roles, and now works with adults in Ohio. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, users follow the site's matching steps to schedule an initial appointment.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Jennie uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress and often includes practical homework and problem-solving tasks. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; clients practice skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation during and between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small committed actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jennie collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful and what practical steps the client wants to take.
Video Telehealth is mentioned in her background as a way she connects with clients, but confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing work between in-person appointments and lets people use tools like worksheets and screen sharing during sessions to practice skills in real time.
