About Jennifer
Jennifer Hayden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward practical steps rather than long explanations.
Jennifer combines focused talking therapy with techniques that address strong memories, behaviors, and everyday coping. She draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people notice patterns and try manageable changes. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when past events continue to cause distress.
In sessions she explains options plainly and helps people choose what fits their life. That can mean short skills practice, looking at unhelpful thoughts, or guided processing for traumatic memories. She acknowledges medical and addiction models while also attending to how daily routines, relationships, and roles affect well-being.
Jennifer has worked with people facing substance use and gambling-related problems alongside mental health concerns. She describes treatment as practical and direct, with attention to reducing stigma around diagnoses and addiction. Her approach is steady and goal-focused, aiming to reduce the everyday weight of difficult emotions.
People who want a clinician who blends talk therapy with structured techniques may find her approach straightforward. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to match what you need.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jennifer uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's goals and values. That approach emphasizes listening and adjusting the work to what matters most to the individual. It can help people clarify priorities and make changes that fit their life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical behavior changes. CBT offers concrete tools for anxiety, mood problems, sleep difficulties, and many everyday struggles. When past events cause ongoing distress, she may include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a method that works with difficult memories in a structured way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and current situation. That conversation may lead to a mix of talk work, skills practice, or EMDR sessions when appropriate.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce the time spent traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt sessions to focus on skill-building, processing memories, or planning practical next steps so therapy can fit into everyday life.
