About Jenay
Jenay Williams is a licensed independent clinical social worker who uses a systemic approach to help people manage stress and major life changes. She draws on practical therapies to guide clients through anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and struggles with self-esteem. She works in straightforward, compassionate ways that focus on what a person is facing right now.
Sessions include talking through problems, identifying patterns that cause pain, and practicing new skills to reduce distress.
Background and approach
Many clients come for help with career pressure, addiction concerns, anger, or depression. Jenay has nine years of clinical experience in Alabama. That time includes supporting people with chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and end-of-life concerns.
She also has experience with first responder struggles and people affected by HIV/AIDS and hospice care. Her toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and client-centered methods. These approaches are used to help people notice what matters, shift unhelpful thinking, and build coping habits that fit daily life.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that names realistic goals and tries small changes between sessions. Jenay emphasizes respect for each person’s background and aims to make therapy practical and goal-focused. She offers sessions in English for people located in Alabama.

Online support
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Jenay often blends Systemic therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work. Systemic therapy looks at relationships and patterns that influence how a person feels, helping identify repetitive dynamics and areas to change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions based on personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic space where the person’s own goals guide the work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jenay will work together with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape a plan with clear, manageable steps and realistic targets for change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller interaction when time and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be simpler when low bandwidth or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, homework support, or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain momentum between appointments.
