About Jennifer
Jennifer Hayden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 22 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns. Her tone is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear, usable help.
Jennifer blends straightforward conversation with hands-on strategies. She uses Client-Centered therapy to focus on each person’s goals and experience. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are introduced to help slow racing thoughts and improve focus. Her work includes attention to trauma and its effects. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is one of the methods she uses for processing traumatic memories.
She is comfortable addressing addictions, including drug and alcohol issues, and supports people working through relapse and recovery patterns. Jennifer views mental health as having both biological and personal parts. She recognizes how diagnoses can carry shame and helps people separate identity from symptoms.
Practical coping skills and real-life problem solving are part of sessions alongside emotional healing. With many years in practice, she brings experience across a wide range of concerns. She offers multiple session formats to fit different needs, and works collaboratively to tailor a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a plan around each person’s goals. In online sessions this means conversations that begin where the client is and move at their pace, with the therapist reflecting concerns and priorities back so goals stay clear.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together. Online CBT can include practical homework, tracking thought patterns between sessions, and step-by-step behavior changes for anxiety, ADHD-related routines, or mood problems.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used to help people process distressing memories. When offered online it follows structured protocols adapted for remote work, with the therapist guiding the process and checking in frequently about reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process shapes sessions so methods feel useful rather than imposed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like fitting a lunchtime phone check-in, avoiding travel time with video calls, or using text for brief reflections between sessions. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone can use less bandwidth, and messaging supports short updates or coaching-style exchanges. These formats aim to make regular care easier to maintain alongside daily life.
