Getting to know Jennifer Nelson

Hello! My name is Jennifer Nelson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arkansas with over 15 years of professional experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. I have experience helping clients with depression, anxiety, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths to assist you in overcoming the challenges you face. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solutions-Focused approaches to help my clients work through what is distressing them. I find these approaches very effective because you begin to recognize what is going through your mind and how it affects your feelings and reactions to everyday situations. I strongly believe, “change your thoughts, change your life,” and using CBT and Solutions-Focused approaches can help a person recognize how self-defeating thought patterns hinder growth. I typically work with adolescents, young adults, and middle-aged adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflicts, self-esteem, and communication issues. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage, and you can be proud of yourself for doing so! I am a supportive cheerleader for my clients and genuinely care about your success. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals! My journey to mental healthcare began as a child when I was always asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I would say, “to help people.” Being a Social Worker has given me the opportunity to combine two passions of mine—helping others and teaching. I allow clients to take the lead in building their therapeutic setting and interventions as they see fit. I strongly believe that YOUR goals need to be YOUR goals. With your motivation and focus on YOUR goals, the sky is the limit.
