About ZsaZsa
Zsa Zsa Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 45 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She has worked in many settings, including Children's Protective Services, community mental health, hospitals, military bases, and nonprofit agencies. That background shapes a practical approach focused on clear goals and manageable steps. She has provided individual work and group counseling and has experience with crisis intervention.
In sessions she starts by listening to what matters most to the client. Together they identify a few specific issues to focus on and set realistic short-term goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to look at patterns of thought and behavior and employs Client-Centered techniques to keep discussions grounded in a person's experience.
Zsa Zsa also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation is mixed, and Narrative Therapy ideas to help people reframe difficult stories from their past. She often uses solution-focused strategies when someone needs brief, action-oriented work.
She encourages questions about her methods and asks clients to raise concerns as they come up. If someone still feels unsure after initial sessions, she supports seeking a second professional opinion. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they feel understood and can sort out their own next steps. It helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and figuring out priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses practical tools and homework to change unhelpful routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Motivational Interviewing involves short conversations that help someone clarify their own reasons for change and find the energy to act on those reasons.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes while keeping the focus on specific skills and steps to manage stress, relationships, and mood.
