About Traynette
Traynette Jenkins-Reese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people manage anxiety and related concerns. She guides clients through stress, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and family conflict with a steady, practical approach. Her manner is warm and supportive, and she works with each person to set clear, achievable steps.
She brings 24 years of experience in a range of settings, including residential treatment, outpatient care, in-home work, and employee assistance programs.
Background and approach
That background means she has seen many kinds of problems and knows how to adapt methods to different situations. Her work has included trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and issues tied to blended families and communication breakdowns. Her sessions start where the client is.
She uses person-centered principles to listen first and then tailor a plan. Common tools she draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused practices. These approaches help people change unhelpful thinking, build small skills, and cope with painful memories.
Traynette aims for collaboration. She and the client set goals together and try practical exercises between sessions. Sessions are straightforward, with an emphasis on real steps that can be used day to day.
She conducts work in English and practices from Missouri. People considering online care can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The focus is on helping each person make steady progress toward clearer thinking and calmer days.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where the person is now. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps identify priorities to work on, which can be helpful for anxiety, relationship concerns, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to notice thought patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean blending person-centered listening with CBT or adding solution-focused steps to reach specific goals faster.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work more like an in-person session, phone can fit into a busy schedule or require less bandwidth, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging helps keep progress going between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
