About Traynette
Traynette Jenkins-Reese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 24 years of experience in mental health care. She works with people who bring concerns such as family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.
She has worked in residential treatment, outpatient settings, in-home care, and employee assistance programs. That range means she is familiar with different service settings and with people from varied backgrounds and life situations. She notes particular experience with family and relationship conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, and intellectual or developmental disabilities.
Her approach begins with the person-centered model. That means sessions start by identifying where someone is now and building from there. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused work to address thoughts, behaviors, and immediate coping steps.
Sessions also make use of motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques when those methods fit the goals. Traynette emphasizes collaboration - she and the client set small, concrete steps to try between sessions and review progress together. That practical rhythm helps focus on change that can be noticed day to day.
She aims to help people manage specific problems and build skills they can use outside sessions. Her background across settings informs a straightforward style that focuses on observable changes and workable strategies.
How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Traynette commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different responses. CBT sessions break problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and use short experiments to test new habits. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship stress.She also uses Client-Centered techniques, which focus on listening to the person's experience and building a collaborative plan. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, concrete goals and identify immediate steps that move someone toward those goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative choice guides the structure of sessions and the homework or practice tasks between meetings.
