About Jeni
Jeni Wahlig is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with 13 years of professional experience. Jeni focuses on relationship concerns, family challenges, parenting stress, and LGBTQ matters. They also work with people facing anxiety, life changes, and intimacy-related issues.
Jeni uses approaches that center on how people connect and communicate. Sessions are straightforward and aim to clarify patterns that cause conflict or distance. Conversations often look at how past attachment experiences shape present reactions and how small changes in interaction can change results.
Clients can expect a direct, client-centered style that listens first and then helps set clear, practical steps. Cognitive Behavioral ideas may be used to notice and shift unhelpful thinking that keeps stress or anxiety active. Emotion-focused and Gottman-informed tools are used to strengthen emotional expression and repair around relationship hurts.
Work often covers blended family questions, separation and divorce logistics, and problems like infidelity or commitment concerns. Jeni also helps people navigate gender dysphoria, sexuality questions, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics when those topics arise.
Sessions tend to focus on what feels most immediate at home and in relationships. The goal is to make conversations and choices easier to manage day to day. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and a first session are used to identify priorities and next steps.
How sessions work
How attachment, EFT, and CBT translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Online sessions using attachment ideas look at recurring interaction patterns and help people try new responses in daily life.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and access core emotions that drive conflict. In remote sessions that use EFT, the therapist helps clients practice expressing those emotions and repairing distance with clearer language.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and routines that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT techniques online can include short home practice, noticing automatic thoughts, and testing new behaviors between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to current goals, needs, and preferences rather than insisting on a single method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often combine conversational work with brief between-session tasks so therapy fits into everyday life.
