About Jennie

Jennie Kozlik is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. Jennie works with adults who are asking what comes next after changes at work, in relationships, or with health.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adjusts methods to fit each person's needs. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, practicing new coping skills, and setting small, doable goals. Jennie draws on experience from inpatient hospital settings and community mental health agencies to inform her practical approach.

Jennie trained at Youngstown State University and earned a Master of Social Science Administration from Case Western Reserve University. Over a decade she has worked with people starting in adolescence and adults across a range of issues, which shaped how she practices today.

In the room she emphasizes collaboration. That looks like checking what matters most to the client, trying a focused technique, and reviewing what helped. She may use methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as appropriate.

Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care backgrounds, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues, codependency, and topics related to kink and alternative sex cultures. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to people located in Ohio.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Jennie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying alternative behaviors; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and depression. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-driven action, which can help when people feel stuck or unsure about life direction.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when those needs arise. DBT skills are practical tools for handling intense emotions and improving communication patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennie works with the client to decide which techniques to try first, adjusts based on what helps, and checks in regularly about goals and progress. That way the plan reflects the client's needs, preferences, and day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Others appreciate being able to use a quieter room, turn off video, or choose a time that fits around work or caregiving. These practical benefits make it easier to include therapy alongside everyday responsibilities.
