01About Jennifer
Jennifer Hayden is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She brings 22 years of experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, depression, and identity-related concerns. Her style is straightforward and grounded, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer ways to cope day to day.
Jennifer blends practical tools with talk-based support. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace, and uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Background and approach
She also offers EMDR for people whose symptoms stem from traumatic memories, plus mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Her background spans general mental health and substance-use work, and she has long experience addressing complicated situations like co-occurring conditions, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. That history informs how she helps people make step-by-step changes without feeling overwhelmed.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals such as improving sleep, reducing panic, handling relationship stress, or changing patterns around substances or food. Jennifer helps clients practice new skills between sessions and track progress in ways that fit real life. She approaches therapy as a collaboration.
Clients set priorities and she offers tools, questions, and exercises to move toward those goals. The work is practical, steady, and centered on what matters most to each person.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through priorities, set goals, and adjust pace so the work matches each person's needs.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. In video or phone sessions, Jennifer can introduce exercises, coach practice, and review homework to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change substance use patterns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used for traumatic memories and distressing experiences. When EMDR is appropriate, parts of the work can be adapted for remote sessions with clear step-by-step guidance and support from the therapist.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennifer will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy days. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions.
