About Jennie
Jennie Kozlik is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people feel and act. She uses straightforward, person-centered care to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, relationship struggles, and low self-esteem. Jennie aims to help clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical habits that improve day-to-day life.
Jennie earned an Associate of Arts in human services, a Bachelor of Social Work from Youngstown State University, and a Master of Social Science Administration from Case Western Reserve University. Over ten years she has worked in inpatient hospital settings and community mental health agencies. That range of experience informs how she sees complex situations and supports people through them.
Her approach centers on the person, not a one-size-fits-all method. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts tools like cognitive behavior strategies, acceptance work, motivational interviewing, and skills-based practice to fit each person’s goals. Sessions focus on small, practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Jennie has supported people with issues around abandonment, attachment, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, codependency, and communication difficulties. She also works with concerns linked to adoption and foster care, blended family stress, and alternative sexuality topics such as BDSM and kink.
Sessions are provided in English and her practice is based in Ohio. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy
Jennie uses several evidence-based techniques to guide online work in simple, practical ways. Cognitive behavior strategies help people notice and test everyday thoughts that contribute to anxiety or low mood; sessions often include small experiments to change unhelpful habits. Acceptance-based work focuses on noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with long-term goals and motivation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that feel like a good fit. She adjusts the work over time based on what helps most, and clients are invited to give feedback throughout therapy.
Video Telehealth is mentioned in her background, so confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuing skill practice between sessions so therapy can connect directly to everyday life.
