Hello! My name is Jennifer Nelson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arkansas with over 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
My approach
I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming issues that challenge you. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions-Focused approaches to help my clients work their way out of what is distressing them. I find these approaches to be very effective because you will begin to recognize what is going through your mind and how it affects your feelings and the way that you react/respond to everyday situations. I strongly believe “change your thoughts, change your life,” and using the CBT and Solutions-Focused approaches can help a person recognize how self-defeating thought patterns can hinder their growth.
My focus
I typically work with adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflicts, self-esteem issues, and communication issues.
My communication style
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and you can be proud of yourself for taking that step! I am a supportive cheerleader to my clients and care about your success. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!
My journey to mental healthcare
As a child, any time someone would ask me what I wanted to do when I grew up, I would always say "to help people." Being a Social Worker has given me the opportunity to combine two passions of mine- helping others and teaching.
My goals for you
I allow clients to take the lead on building their therapeutic setting/interventions as they see fit. I strongly believe that YOUR goals need to be YOUR goals. With your motivation and focus on YOUR goals, the sky is the limit.
My first session with you
Clients can expect to have an opportunity to share with me their goals and learn how my therapeutic approach with them will help them to achieve their goals.
