ZsaZsa Jenkins , LCSW

ZsaZsa Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 45 years of experience in assessment, case management, and counseling. She has worked across settings that include Children's Protective Services, community mental health centers, hospitals, independent practice, military bases, and nonprofit agencies, bringing a broad perspective to individual, group, marriage, and family therapy as well as crisis intervention.

Her practice focuses on adults age 25 and up, and she has particular experience addressing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression and grief, parenting and caregiver stress, and a range of mood and life-change issues. Jenkins also works with challenges such as chronic illness and pain, caregiving burdens, blended family dynamics, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns.

Clinically she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and an eclectic mix of solution-focused and narrative-informed techniques to tailor interventions to each person. She favors collaborative work that helps clients identify the issues they most want to address and develop practical strategies to move forward. Jenkins encourages clients to discuss any questions or concerns about treatment procedures early in the process and supports seeking a second professional opinion when doubts persist.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with a licensed professional

ZsaZsa Jenkins uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist helps reflect and clarify concerns. This approach is useful for building trust, exploring personal values, and working through relationship or self-esteem issues.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress by teaching concrete skills for changing thinking patterns and coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing is another part of her practice, helping clients find internal motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening commitment. This method is often applied when people face difficult transitions, health-related behavior changes, or challenges in caregiving roles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenkins works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations while maintaining regular, consistent contact that supports progress.
