About Jennifer
Jennifer Hayden, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also supports concerns related to LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, and career questions.
Jennifer combines practical, structured methods with longer-form therapeutic conversation. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on client-centered work to focus on the person in front of her and on existential ideas when people face meaning or life-change questions.
Her background includes work in mental health and substance use settings, and she holds a LPC credential in Colorado. The biography notes experience with gambling disorders and describes use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, for trauma and addiction protocols.
In sessions she tends to be direct and practical. She helps people set clear goals, try small experiments between meetings, and track what changes. Sessions often mix focused skill practice with time to talk through difficult feelings and life events.
People considering work with her should expect a mix of problem-focused strategies and deeper therapeutic conversation. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice alternative responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems where changing thoughts or habits makes a difference. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as a nontraditional technique for addressing traumatic memories and some addiction-related protocols. EMDR sessions focus on processing distressing memories in a structured way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, EMDR, client-centered conversation, or a mix is the best fit based on goals and what feels practical. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
The site notes session arrangements are handled through the matching and scheduling process, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If someone prefers a session that does not require video, discuss options during scheduling to find a format that fits daily life and technical needs.
