About Jaylea
Jaylea Black is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with five years of experience. She lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among her main approaches and helps with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and addiction. She also notes work with people from rural and urban backgrounds and LGBT+ clients.
She uses short, practical conversations and structured techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause distress. Sessions can include problem-solving, skill practice, and focused discussion of recent difficulties. Jaylea says she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with EMDR and solution-focused techniques when appropriate.
Her background includes work with people facing chronic or terminal illness and with people across a wide age range. She has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, competency evaluations, and brief intervention methods related to substance use. Those experiences inform her approach to stress, grief, and trauma-related concerns.
Jaylea describes her counseling style as interactive and respectful. The first meeting is a consult to set expectations and goals and to check whether the match feels right. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
For people considering therapy, she recommends selecting the online therapy options button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling an initial consult to get started.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jaylea lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) among the approaches she uses. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short, structured exercises. It commonly helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep problems going. EMDR involves directed attention to memories while processing their emotional impact and is often used for trauma-related symptoms.She also uses mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice bodily sensations and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices are brief and practical, such as breathing exercises or grounding strategies that can be used between sessions. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative decision; the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what seems most useful in early meetings.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In early appointments she will discuss how to structure sessions and recommend concrete at-home practices that fit into everyday routines, like short skill drills or brief check-ins that work around work or caregiving commitments.
